It's your bushings. Get some polyurethane replacements and you'll be good to go.

I had this exact problem and my sway bar bushings were bad. Had to replace them, about $30 for all of them at my local shop.

Just do it when you feel like it no rush. Mine has been doing it since I bought it.

Sway bar bushings you can let go. If it's your control arm bushings then that’s a different issue. You can get a kit from Energy Suspension. The only problem is that you have to burn out the old ones with a torch and leave the medal sleeves so the new bushings can be installed. The dealer says that the upper control arm bushings and pressed in so you will have to buy a whole new unit. But you can just simply burn them out and use the medal sleeves. It is a hard kit to find but you can get it. Have fun with them![:@]
