Default Help! Front end noise

I have got a noise thats driving me crazy!
-Its comming from the front, a dampened banging that occurs when I hit a hole in the road.
-Its even worse when its warmed up.
-No noticable performance or handling problem.
-More noticable at low speed.
-The shocks,springs,swaybar & bushings/endlinks have all been replaced. Thats when the
noise started, but I have had it checked out and reassembled with no success.
-I'm guessing somthing is loose and banging the engine compartment or body underside... but
cannot find it.

I'm desparate.. any ideas??????
Maybe I should get a wedge of some type and put it in different areas to narrow my search.

Just a thought. Maybe a spring not seated right? Just a shot.

Did you have the car lowered or anything. Or is it bone stock?

It makes sense (I guess) I now have stiffer springs/shocks, so everything under the hood ect is subject to more shock... so I guess I have to dampen all possible areas. I'm looking at the air lines/wheel well area now..

Isn't there anyone who has had to troubleshoot noises relating to shock movement against the body? What did you dampen?
