05GT front stabilizer bar bushing, strut or LCA ?

I've recently noticed that whenever going over a bump or uneven road surface, I hear this really loud clunking noise like metal hitting against metal and it's coming from the front on the passenger side..

What I don't understand is, I don't notice any vibrations, steering related issues or any type of wheel wobble and when on smooth road surfaces everything seems to be fine..

So my question is.. Could my problem be the lower ball joint, strut or could it be the front stabilizer bar bushings ?


Also, I did have my lower control arm and upper strut mount assembly replaced by the dealership just under 2 years ago and hope they don't need replaced again as I've only put around 8000 miles or so since the dealership did the replacements.. Btw: my suspension is completely bone stock..


In the meantime, I'd really appreciate any feedback and advice that can be provided..


Thanks, Rocky

I replied on another thread but the clunking that I was getting on my 06 was due to an improperly tightened stabilizer bar link.

Thanks Alex, as I also suspect it has something to do with the stabilizer bar link as well..
