Default Dull bed spring sound

SO I just replaced the front left lower ball joint and the cranky bed spring sound is still there. I think it might be my shocks or shock absorbers, which will soon be replaced by KW variant-1's. Is there any other suspension parts that come to mind that would make that kind of noise? i have a pair of extra sway bar links for my hotchkis set-up. I guess I'll just start replacing everything

How many miles on your Z and year? Also, if the sound is loud in the car maybe post a video?

Before I got the wife her FRS, she had a Chevy Sonic LTZ. For a time, it sounded like the front end was going to literally fall the **** off or something. Probably the worst clunking noise ever. I checked everything, motor/trans mounts etc. Like a dummy, the only thing I didn't check were the sway bar end links. I poked around online and found out there was a recall on faulty end links. Brought her in and sound was gone after that.

Anyway..... I hope everything works out for you and that sound goes the hell away.
