My mechanic tested for the spring seat (the rubber part under the metal part) or whatever it's called by taking a wrench and putting just a little torque on the nut to see if it moved. The good side didn't and the bad side did.
I also bump tested it several times (pushed down on the side of the bumper) and noticed the bad side tended to move farther than the good side. I was also told that the factory shocks tend not to go until 150k.
On mine, the metal barrel inside the rubber had seperated, causing the noise.
