I've always thought that clunk was upper strut mounts. Mine does it a little bit as well.

The center of the strut hat is steel. If loose any at all it will make a loud thud over certain bumps. That same sound can come from the sway bar end links. Even if they don't look loose they might be just enough. The only way to get the strut hat nut tight is to bump it a couple times with the impact wrench as I described above.

I had the same thing intermittently. Turns out my strut tower brace had come loose on one side and just needed to be tightened back up. Problem solved.

Thanks to the suggestions on this thread I was able to fix my clunk sound when going over bumps. It was the sway bar end links. They didn't feel loose, but the rubber boots were broken. I replaced with Eibach endlinks and now no more clunk!

When we bought our 2016 GT Convertible in sept of 21 I noticed a slight clunk coming from the right front. That winter when the car was parked I replaced both sway bar links. I was very dissappointed in the spring on the first drive I noticed the cluck was still there...maybe not as loud. This past summer the dealership (not Ford) I shuttle cars for hired a new young tech. I noticed he was very fussy and meticulous. I got him to have a look at it...and with in 5 mins he said have a look at this. The right front lower lower control arm had very slight movement in it. The Ford dealer next door had one in stock and an hour later I was on the road clunk free. Feels like a new car. The new guy is my "go to Guy" now.

It’s priceless finding a good mechanic!
I’ve got the same noise in the front left of my 21 Mach 1 , only happens on sharp buckles in the road and no other time.
Been driving me nuts to find,
I had the car jacked up and took off underbelly shield , banged around with a rubber malet and can’t find anything loose.
I tightened top strut tower bolts to spec.
Still have the issue.
Probably need a mechanic to figure it out.

Mine would clunk on most sharp edges,some worse than others, including the 3/4 inch lip driving into my garage. I would have never found this myself. On the hoist he was able to move this arm ever so slightly and it made no noise at all.
