Default Front thud sound - not bushings or links!!

Front Thud Sound- Help- Not The Bushings



1)Whenever going over rough pavement, my 02 sport GC ( 235,000mi) makes a hard slam/thud noise.
2) The front end also intermittently vibrates between 50 AND 70 MPH.

Stabilizer Bushings have been replaced for all you know it alls who think this is the cure all for such things.

Both S. Bar LINKS have been replaced.

Could it be struts, broken tire belt, ball joint, power steering ball joint?

Sounds like the struts are bottoming out.
