Default clunking noise from front suspension

I hear a clunking noise from my front suspension in the front when I take a slight bump....anything I should check first? And what might need replacing?

Welcome!

This would be better in General Tech, so I'll move it.

Lots of things to check. Upper & lower ball joints? Upper shock mount? Anti-roll-bar bushings?

Could be a few things, sounds to me like a bushing in the shock absorber assembly is either worn or then nut that tightens it needs to be tightened, check under the hood above the wheel, where the noise is coming from, check it out.

I would suggest the bushes on the anti roll bar and roll bar links and upper wish bones I have just been through all this just this week my problem was the wishbones
