Help with suspension noise

I've noticed a squishy sound in the front of my truck whenever I go over a speed bump. At first, I thought that my shocks were bad so I removed the Tokiko Trekmaster and reinstalled the Bilsteins that I removed a few years back but the noise is still there.

Could the sound be coming from my greasable sway bar?

I appreciate any help as the sound is getting on my nerves.

Thanks,
Alex

could be something in the steering system, check the bushings on the steering rack, they break down easy and get overlooked a lot

Could be a variety of things, the two that would stick out to me would be the sway bar bushings, on the frame and the end-links. As well as the bushings that are IN the a-arm, and hold it to the frame.

Check the bottom strut bushings, mine were shot and made all kinds of noise.
