2006 gt front end issues

[MTstang]

Just bought a a 2006 gt with 115,xxx miles. Front end has a clunk going over bumps so I replaced struts and strut mounts with gt500 ones. Also did sway bar bushings and alignment. Sounds the same as before parts were done. Tire shop can't find source of clunk and thinks could be a bad strut mount, which I am questioning. Definitely from front end and possibly left side. Anything else to look at?

Lower control arms and sway bar endlinks.

Probably worn front control arm bushings, though worn bushings in front swaybar end links also possible. Might was well fix both.

Probably the Rear Hydro Bushings in the Lower Control Arms. Change the Arms out

You replaced the struts and strut mounts, but did you replace the rubber isolater on the front coil springs? When I did my struts I didn't have the isolater on the spring properly and it made for a noisy ride over bumps until I fixed it.

I think they tried to reuse rubber isolaters on coils, I ordered gt500 lower control arms and sway bar end links. Hopefully they will cure it.

Lower control arms fixed it. Thanks!
