Default 2 door XJ Creaks, cracks and pops

I just purchased a 99 with 125k miles and stock. Very clean. No rust!
Shocks are blown out up front

Is it normal for my interior to have all kinds of creaks, pops and rattles?
It is more pronounced when hitting bumps or flexing it.
Haven't owned an XJ in 8 years. I forgot lol

I think it may have to do with my blown out shocks?

did you do the felt tape ? sounds like a great idea

I may just do the same. did it help much?

Damn, mine mostly happens on bumps. The dash will randomly pop.
