Default Suspension knock?

While a friend was driving my car he hydroplaned and curbed the front passenger side of my car quite bad, braking the strut. Ive replaced the strut and compression rod bushing but am still getting a bad suspension knock when hitting bumps. Any ideas on what else i need to replace?

I smashed my front wheel on a pretty deep pothole going 80mph like 2 months ago and bent my wheel. Afterward I was getting a thump on uneven surfaces, speed bumps, driveways etc. I figured it was the sway bar end links and went ahead and replaced them while I was installing my coilovers.

So i'm not 100% it was the end links since I swapped out the struts at the same time, but it might be a good idea to look at them.

Sounds sort of like the end links to me possibly, but I'd recommend taking it to a suspension/alignment shop to see if anything is broken/bent/busted.

Replaced front right endlink, it wasnt bent but the bushings were shot and i could spin it around. But the noise is still persistent, could it of messed up both endlinks?

That's a possibility. Just check the other side too I suppose.
