Take a measurement of the front end when you first park it, then measure it the following morning at the same spot.
If it's different, your front shocks need to be replaced.
Depends what you consider "loose"
to me, that sounds more like a ball joint or Tie Rod end issue.

My Expy would get loose at times on certain surfaces of concrete and I replaced both the front and back. I could be wrong sure wouldn"t be the first time, but I think the front shocks are two different actions. One is the lift from the air portion and one is the shock portion. I replaced front and rear around 50,000 miles and what a difference it made.
