Clonking noise on 2000 S40

Hello all,

I have a 2000 S40 that is making clonking and clanking noises when I go over bumps or even reflectors in the road. I changed all the engine mounts this weekend passed. And about 10 months ago I changed out the strut housing bearings and I still got the noise 2 days later. Now would I need to replace the control arms? And when I get up to 60mph it starts to vibrate like crazy. But when I get up to 75 or 80mph it smooths out. Please any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
LaDon

Update I went out today and jack the car up and put it up on a jack stand. Well I looked underneath and saw that the bottom of the strut housing was bent. The shock was hitting it. And a piece of the bottom strut housing is broken off some. So I have to get a new strut housing and bearing. Is there a more durable strut housing I can use on this 2000 S40?
