Are my shocks to blame for the noise that started 2 days ago?

While driving:
If I give the car light throttle, the engine rises a bit, which is normal. But every time I give little throttle or even accellerate, from a STOP ONLY! I hear a poping, flexing noise!!!
If I turn my steering wheel' at STOP, I get the SAME noise!! But quiter. The hood raises a little bit when the wheels are locked in both dirrections.


It sounded like the seat at first, but its diffenatly sounding like its a strut or something now. I hit a shallow bump yesterday, real shallow, and it almost reproduce the same sound, as if I was accellerating.

On cold morning, the front Struts make a diffrent noise also! When I hit bumps, But by the time the struts/car warms up, the Noise is gone completly!

Someone Please push me in the correct direction.

Now im dealing with a balancer noise and this noise.

The engine and the tranny both have been replaced and have super low miles, but the other parts on the vehicle are starting to show their age now.
I know these Struts/Shocks have 300K on them!
I do have the mushy/Soft ride, that got even softer within the last year!
If I push the hood/front fender the car will bounce about 3-4 times!
The back dosent appear as bad.

What are the best shocks to get? I diffentatly want to get rid of the soft feel, thats for sure!

The front end also starting to DIP in turns.

Car has Dynaride on the dash, but NO pump under the hood.
Its a 1993 Buick Lesabre Limited!

Thanks for the help..
