Default Did I blow my AGX shock?

Whenever I turn my wheel left moving or parked I hear a loud groan and crunching noise. I also hear this whenever coming to a stop at a light and the cars weight shifts forwards. The noise is only in the front left side of the car, and I have already put the car on a lift at work. All bushings are intact, any ideas on what it might be? The shocks are 4 way adjustable KYB AGX gas shocks, a friend suggested a possible blown seal, anyone have this happen?

Bump but it doesn't sound like a shock problem

That would be my guess too. Does it make a clicking noise around corners?

jea, definately a cv joint. Do you hear popping noise to when you turn or feel vibrations when you accelerate?

all bushings are intact, all cv boots are secure, no noise when accelerating. thanks for all your help. what are the obvious symptoms I can look for to see if the shock is blown or if the seals are toast?
