2015 SHO 80,500 miles. I have noticed a distinct clunk in the front suspension when driving over bumps in a parking lot, city street, etc that seems much more noticeable lately. I just installed new rotors and pads a week ago and the suspension looked original and I didn’t notice any major wear but something is worn out. I was looking at the Mevotech TTX sway bar end links and outer tie rod ends to start. They look a little higher quality than the OEM parts. Do you all think that’s a good start? Anything else I should look at?

100%, you need new front lower control arms. I had the exact same issue and it fixed mine. It was most noticeable if I drove down a gravel driveway or through the yard and it was uneven.

Also upper trans mount under the battery tray.
Thank you! I will look there as well. I had the car up on the ramps last night looking it over and besides a small tear on one of the sway bar links which I'm going to replace, I can't see anything worn or loose it all looks great. Maybe its that trans mount? Thanks again.

It was 100% the sway bar end links. The TTX ones I got from Napa look like much better quality than stock and they can be greased. Pretty easy install and I don’t have that annoying thud over every bump anymore.

I had this exact same issue, and replaced mine with some basic OEM replacements. I will probably upgrade them in the future, but I am not yet ready to put money into my suspension yet (although planned).
