Cool Need help,(2008 ISF)when I hit a bump I hear knocking on driver side front brake area

I was told it is my sway bar end link, has anyone else has this issue? My friend says it is probably my sway bar end links, not positive yet though! I just picked up my car Friday, so I'm new to the Lexus world, always wanted one of these cars

End link failure is not common to these cars or any Toyota for that matter. Could be a number of things and it would be very helpful to know what the previous owner did to the car to prepare it for sale.

Idk if this is the same issue or not. But one day on the interstate I ran into some construction work and hit a huge bump unexpectedly. Ever since that huge bump my driver front kind clunks or pops over bumps now. Hadn't had time to actually throw the car on the rack to take a look yet though.

Based off of what Lobuxracer stated and just throwing a dart out for I had a simular problem upfront a few years back with a clunk on one side up front and it was my strut mount or strut. Not sure which one fixed it, but that was the fix for my clunk.

Big breadcrumb as stated would be to know what mods may have been done to your suspension once you learn what may have been done if anything.
