Just up the mountains this past week, and this noise has been around but the mountains seems to make it more.. On bumps theres kind of a "woot" sound (best I can do to describe) from the front suspension. Does this sound like shocks, and has anyones else heard this noise havae a better description....

probably the front swaybar bushings. Very common, but harmless. Basically the bushings are squeaking as the swaybar flexes against them.

You can spray wd-40 in the bushings (they are mounted to the underside of the frame in the front) and that can help make it go away for a while.
