Just make sure you check for play in your suspension vertically and horizontally by rocking your front tires back and forth while the car is jacked up. If you find significant movement or hear a knocking noise, then they need to be replaced. Search for suspension creaking and you'll find the threads that discuss this.
Already checked that. No vertical or horizontal play at all.

Strut has orange rust dust around it while the strut on passenger side is clean. Maybe it's the strut or bushing.
