Front end clunk noise when goes over pothole or bump

hi all,
My TL is getting close to 86K miles and I've noticed clunk when it goes over pothole or bump.
The clunk noise comes from front passenger side.
The strut and spring look ok... no rust..
They don't bounce much when i do the fender push down test...
Is it possibly the stabilizer bar??
The TL has really stiff suspension and this can wears out the stabilizer bar fast...
Has anyone have similar problem?
Thanks.

clunk can be worn stablizer bar ENDLINKS or it could be a blown shock, or ball joint or a number of things. You should get under the car and put levage/force against components and see which one has excessive play. Everything should be very solid. Also shocks can leak oil slowly over time and as well the oil inside does wear down and shear becoming thinner and less resistive.
