Shocks or Struts?

Here's my problem, whenever I go over a couple of bumps in the road, I can hear a sord of thud thud thud noise. It's mainly in the front of the car. I dont know if its the shocks or the struts?

well it cant be shocks or struts. The car doesnt have both. It has struts and springs. Its not your springs. Its either a shock or a bushing
