Okay guys I had an old video which I had sent to someone that includes the clunk noise.

Ignore the last part what I'm saying is "No funny noises coming from the engine" but right before I say that if you can hear the clunks that's what the car makes. Also it's not just a NOISE but you can feel the car go clunk clunk clunk. I don't know how to explain it but I can also feel it in the steering wheel when I drive.

A worn drop link is usually visibly offset and yours look ok so far. If you get your car up on a lift, start poking around and testing suspension components like struts, A-arms, and see if you can locate the rattle problem.

Replacing original struts with used 40k struts is probably not the best plan. They are probably pretty far gone at 40k.

Had a similar problem on my Box, "clunking" sound when driving over speed humps or rough roads.
It seemed to get worse as the weather warmed up, with this in mind i began to wonder if the bushes were simply "Drying" out, so i tried a quick fix before stripping any suspension parts.
Quick fix was to warm up some bearing grease, fill syringe and "inject" the grease into any and all moving parts with a rubber shield, ie ball joints etc.
This cured all noise and has been quite ever since.
Carried out this procedure about 18 mths ago, still quite, Box just passed MOT (uk's government obligatory road worthy test) with absolutely no problems.
Must be worth a go as it cost's nothing and in my case cured what was a really annoying, no to mention embarrassing, noisy ride .
