Cool 1996 Eldorado ETC front end bounce

Hello,
I have a 1996 Eldorado ETC with 68 K. on it for a long time I have tried different things to eliminate a bounce on the right front tire especially when it's cold or been sitting a while. I have replaced the strut bushing, CV joint, new tire twice, aligned front end. Everything except the expensive front strut. You can still feel and hear the bouncing sound, It gets less noticeable after driven a while. I have had three mechanics try to fix this problem and no one has succeeded in doing so. Any ideas before I change the strut? Thanks ellis479

Without hearing this upper strut mounts is one possibility.
