spongy sound in front suspension

so i have been noticing that when i come out of a driveway or go up one and turn into it i get like a spongy noise in the front suspension. i at first thought it was the plastic underneath the front bumper because around the middle its a little bent so i figured it was rubbing. anyone have a clue or same problem?

If the spongy sound is more like wet sexy-time noises, it could be shocks wearing out.

Funny you mention that. Any time I have wet sexy time, I get worried about my shocks.

i would place my money on shocks. when bushings go bad it sounds more like "clunking." So check your shocks and see if they are leaking or look wet, etc.
