the noise hitting your wheel well might be the bump stops hitting. did you trim yours off?

Yes, it is bad. Everytime you slam something, you may be bending or weakening a suspension part. You also may be breaking welds in the unibody. Has your car body (not the bushings) started squeeking yet? Well, thats the metal on metal rubbing, where a weld broke or weakened.

I don't think bumpstops make any notable noises when they hit. It must be the upper frount arms hitting the under side of the fenders. Jack your car up and look for any shinny metal -- thats where your problem is.
