Front end clunk

Approaching the 4-year mark on the Clubman (only 36K miles though). Clutch is starting to shudder again (so annoying!), and now I've got a clunk from the front end on speed bumps. Does anyone know of any common front end bushing or strut issues I should know about that might lead to a clunk like that?

Photo attached for attention.

Definitely had control arm issues fixed under warranty on the F56S, might have the same on Clubman. I only heard the clunk on speed bumps.

Left and Right wishbone control arms/bushings plus alignment were done on my 2017 under warranty. They also install a ride height sensor to a wishbone control arm and run some tests, including an electrical short test and an initialization of the sensor. I believe there is a service bulletin on this as it is a known issue.
