Suspension question?

I lifted up my car today,as it had clunk noise when driving over speed bumps at low speed only.

I noticed that #7(picture 1) on the list moves abit,if i pull hard #6(moves together with #7). Could that be an issue? Or it is stabilizer links bars#7(picture 2)(they looks good,but as far as i researched on thsi forum hard to see if they faulty unless change them and feel car with no clunks anymore)? Any help uppreciated



Maybe it is #7 fault(picture below)? i tried to move it,but it doesn't move.

It usually is #7, that is the culprit. I replaced mine twice since I had the X. Sounds like a new car after replacing the sway bar link. But if the sway bar bushings are worn too, there could be some play causing the clunk.

If you can "feel" the clunk then it is most likely the thrust arm bushes and I can thoroughly recommend the polyurethane replacements. If you can only hear it, and it is more a rattle over small undulations in the road at lower speeds it will be the sway bar drop links. There are few failures of the sway bar bushes but if you do replace them, then again go for the uprated poly bushes, they are so much better.
