i did replace shocks (front, OEM), CV axles (reman OEM), shock mounts (aftermarket) a. month ago. not sure if it is related
any idea what this could be? i get a sense that this is not shocks related but can't pinpoint it:

Drive it up on the curb, and crawl underneath while someone does that, you'll find the source. Bring a flashlight.

 

Sorry is for rear shocks my mistake

 

after digging it appeared that it came somewhere from the shock mount, but not exactly sure where. could have been strut lower bushing, or area where spring touches shock at the lower part, hard to say.
a good amount of lithium grease did a trick, will go from here. maybe lower strut mount bushings are due for replacement
