Check your lower shock mounting bolts, they'll sometimes come loose

+1 lower shock bolts. tighten to 100 lbs torque. that takes a big *** pull bar, pipe, or air gun.

you might also want to check the upper control arm bushing... if your feeling it on the floor board then the CA is the only thing in that area. my '05 does it as well and I know my CA bushings are shot.

Check the inner fender liner on both sides. They will become loose over time. worked for me
& a buddy of mine.
