2011 ford escape
i have a 2011 ford escape 3.0 AWD limited and i am having some front end noise. I have had the sway bar links changed, i just did the control arms, and i changed a strut on the driver side, However i am still getting a clunking sound on both sides in the front end when i hit bumps, i live on rougb country roads and i am getting frustrated with the trial and error process lol. Any help or opinions would be awesome. Cheers

Does it matter if you are turning left or right for the bumping noise, are you sure its the front and not the rear, does it sound like it coming more from left or right? Ive seen many engine mounts start to go out and sound/feel like bad struts.
To me it sounds like you should get the vehicle on a lift with the suspension at ride height, like a alignment rack, then take a prybar though everything to check for movement and clunking.

Generally strut mounts indicate they are bad by making noise when the wheel is turned side to side, I dont know how to describe the noise sorry.
Not a bad idea to look at sway bar bushings, this is easy to check when the vehicke is in the air with the wheels/suspension at ride height, usually you can look for paint rubbed off the sway bar if the bushings are shoot.
