If your noise originates in the front end, it may likely be the large front sway bar moving against the bushings. Try spraying the rubber busings with a silicone based spray to see if this eliminates your noise. If so, you can try unbolting the bushings and reversing them to gain a temporary fix, but ultimately the bushings wil have to be replaced. Hope this helps.

There are rubber bushings, fairly well hidden, holding the steering rack that can also cause phantom noises when going over bumps.
