Front end..

I have some Bumpy roads where i live.. and when i hit bumps, something in the front clanks around.. I am thinking struts.. but struts are 40 bucks a pop.. and dont wanna replace something that i dont have to..

could be struts (easy test push down the bumper it should bounce once then stop) more than likely it's sway bar mount, or exhaust

small ones no, if it looks like it's going down a dirt road at 60 yes, struts rarely clunk when bad (if they do they are bottoming out and are dangerous)

Nope it doesnt look like its going down at dirt road at even 30, LOL... if i push on the hood, it doesnt cluck, only when i hit the bumps at 30 or faster..
