Thanks to this thread I solved my clunk/thunk noise after replacing my original struts with Koni FSD's. After replacing the sway bar links the noise was still there, along with a shudder when braking at high speed.
It turns out that when I replaced the struts I allowed the knuckle to hang on the control arms without loosening the bolts at the frame. I had damaged the bushings.
After replacing the control/thrust arms the noise was still there. After searching this forum I checked the top nuts on the struts and found them loose enough to turn by hand (with a socket). After moving the strut brace aside it was easy to tighten the top nut. This was done with the wheels on the ground and I didn't need to hold back.
In retrospect, I should have tightened the top nut when the suspension was loaded, similar to tightening the bushing bolts with the wheels under load.
My thanks to you for pointing me in the right direction.
