Is your front strut doing its job? Look for indications of a fluid or gas leak by trying to bounce the front end and see haw quickly the car settles. More than one up-down cycle shows it is weak or damaged.

Have you checked the front strut? A weak or damaged one may be the cause. Look for fluid or gas (not gasoline) leaks on the strut body and do a "bounce" test by pushing down on the suspect corner and couple times and then let go and see if the car settles within one bounce. If it goes beyond one up-down motion, the unit probably needs to be replaced.
