Then check the mounts themselves. Open the hood, and do a visual inspection. If you see any orange foam bits, the mount is failing. Another tell-tale is as if you see that the shock top nut is no longer centered in the mount.

Another possibility is the lower shock joint. Check if you see any grease that made its way past the seals. You might have to remove the wheels and check for play. There is not much to work with, but it is halfway on the control arm, so a bit of play at the joint can lead to double the play at the wheel.

Best of luck, keep us posted.

I have the same issue Roger, The towers bushings and such all look fine with a visual inspection but my ride height is at 14.75. Looks like it's time for me to order some parts. My new DWS tires show a bit of cupping on the inner edge.
