Front Suspension Noise

[tomsawyer]

Hi Everyone - I have a loud clunk coming out of the driver's side front wheel section of the suspension whenever I go over a large bump/pothole in the road. Driving on solid road everything is tight and there is no noise; however, like I stated, over large bumps you can really hear it.

I thought for sure, based on what I read in the How To X5 section, that it was the sway bar links. So I bought them and had my mechanic install; however, noise is still there. I talked to my BMW tech friend and he stated 99.9% of the time the clunking noise is the sway bar links. Look like it's something else. Any suggestions?

Truck has sport suspension option and has 60K miles.

Thanks to all who answer.
