weird suspention noise

Hi guys, yet another problem on the x lol. For the past week I've been experiencing a VERY annoying wobbling sound coming from the undercarriage area (front passenger side). I am not experiencing any difference in ride or performance but the wobbling is becoming unbearable. It only occurs when i hit a bump, pothole, or uneven road. My dealer did however request i change my thrust arm bushings; does anyone know if this could possibly be the reason? Any help, as always, is GREATLY appreciated.

#7 in this link is the thrust arm bushing, and it is the most likely culprit for the wobble you are feeling. The clunk should be most prevalent over bumps and up curbs, as well as if you tap the brakes a few time you will feel it.
