I am all stock/OEM and after replacing the struts, links and control/thrust arms (with ball joints), I"m satisfied with the results. If I had been smarter I would not have jumped the gun on the links, and instead checked the strut top nuts. The noise (clunk/thunk), sounded and felt like it was in the dashboard, and that makes sense because the strut braces are anchored at a single point in the middle of the windshield behind the cabin air filter. The noise/thunk transmitted from the loose strut top nuts into the dash via the strut braces. Lesson learned.
