I gave up on fixing it, then it went away on it own. Noise in the front shocks turned out to be related to steering. They tried to fix it, but now back. Sometimes with a sharp right turn (max) it makes a loud popping sound, like something got squeezed then suddenly released, and vibrates the front end.
