2018 Atlas Front Strut Problem

You do not need to replace the entire strut as the noise is coming from the upper mount. It can be hard to diagnose because it can be such a subtle noise, I usually do both sides since it's hard to determine which side it's coming from.

Sway bar end links are easier to diagnose. A clunking noise on bumps or turns, rock the vehicle side to side as hard as you can and the end link will start clunking. Have somebody listen if you can't hear it, or even grab the end link and you'll feel it on one that's failed.

These will fix most almost all front end suspension complaints.
