Road speed or engine speed or only over bumps?

Stupid thought, but are all the wheel nuts tight? You'd be surprised how often that is dismissed due to it being a silly suggestion.

Hi yes had both wheels off,to look for any problems

Seems to be worse on bumpy roads

To check cv joint ,I will try running in a circle ,should be able to hear it cracking ,if it is the cv joint is it easier to change the whole shaft

Seing as you have had replacement shocks,.Have you checked spring sitting correctly and not broken.Shock top mount not loose the 1 where the shock gose through the top bearing.Anti roll bar bushes or subframe bushes

Good shout I reckon, I had similar symptoms on my Fiesta mk7, turned out to be top mount. Springs been done twice this year alone so it just wasn't put back properly.
