Default Front end CLUNKING

I have an 02 Tribute. Clunking coming from front end when you hit the smallest bump. Though it was struts, had replaced, did not fix. It is getting louder an worse. Sounds like its coming from front left but could be front right. Any help would be great. Thank so much

Check your LEFT and RIGHT front stabilzer bar links. See if you can grab them and shack or move them. There shouldnt be any play in them at all. if there is thats your problem. The rubber seal boots go bad and then you loose all the grease. Its pretty commin they go bad. And there easy to replace.

This noise is definitely the sway bar links. Just had mine replaced at 31K miles.
