Default 2007 clunking in front end

Hey everyone, first post to the forum. I recently picked up a 2007 Mazda 3 with 60k on it. I like the car, fun to drive. Ive notived a clunking in the right front end when I hit a bump. It is not present any other time, only when I hit a bump. Im leaning towards a bad swaybar end link. Any thoughts? How hard are the swaybar end links to change? I imagine it is pretty straight forward. Thanks for any thoughts.

It could be a few things. The sway bar could be a problem. Sometimes the Strut or the Boot could be malfunctioning. It is worth a dealer or trustworthy mechanic looking at the situation.

Does the car have a clean carfax?

Thanks, it turned out to be a bad strut.
