Rep Power: 0 Loud Bang From Front Drivers Strut/tire Area
So I've replaced my front struts with new quick-struts. Now my only problem is this loud bang/noise coming from the front drivers strut when I go over bumps/potholes that I can't seem to figure out. This happens every day where there is this bump in the road or even like a sharp 2 inch drop off where the road has sunk and the front drivers side
makes a very loud bang as the suspension drops. This also is happening on speed bumps if I go over them any faster than 5-10mph. I have to go very slow on them and I believe the noise is happening when the car is up over and starting to come down on the speed bump. Almost like the spring isn't long enough. It's not bottoming out but more like over extending maybe. If anyone might have a clue to why this is happening PLEASE let me know. The quick-struts are new and shouldn't be sounding like that.

Well I've replaced the lower control arm bushings about 3 months ago. So I know it's not those. As far as the sway bar end links..those are in good condition too. Nothing is loose or worn out to the point that there is metal on metal. Just can't seem to diagnose what is making the noise.
