Okay, so I just replaced my broken strut (ripped my end link mounting bracket off) and shortly after Im now hearing an odd clunk noise when the suspension reacts to potholes, uneven roads and basically anything that is not smooth at speeds less than 40 or so. This is heard at both sides but it doesnt seem to effect handling cause I can still drive this thing hard around the corners.

I am only at peace when at higher speeds like on the freeway. Any idea what could be worn or is it something else?

Recheck th torque on the nuts for the end links. If they are slightly loose they will "slop" in the hole under bounce.

What he said. After I installed aftermarket front struts & sway, mine had a clunk over speed bumps. Went away after I tightened everything down.

Its a stretch, but did you get that TSB done for the updated upper strut bearing and spring isolator?

I never got the bearing work done under the TSB cause the lowering springs fixed the problem.

Ive got the Pro springs installed and I just developed a clunking noise in the front when I turn left and right. The symptoms differ from yours...
