Minor run in with pothole, now clunk in large curb
So a few days ago I was on a small 2-lane road going around a bend. Out of the blue comes a guy in a large SUV on his cell-phone, speeding, and in the middle of the road. I honked but he didn't notice and I had to swerve to the edge of the road to avoid hitting him.
This road, due to it going up a minor hill, had no shoulder where I was and the pavement was broken up pretty bad. We'll I hit a bad pothole on the right edge and it bent the inside lip of my wheel and popped the bead on the tire. The car got towed to the dealer and they replaced the tire on a spare wheel I had purchased a year ago. They stated they saw no damage.
The alignment on the front end is off pretty bad but I am having that taken care of Tuesday.
The problem I am having is the edge of my driveway is a large curb that raises up pretty high. I could never lower my car as I wouldn't be able to get in my driveway. I have to go at it from an angle as it is. When I go up or down this I am hearing a clunk from under the car on the right side. I looked as best as I could and did not see anything. No issues while driving but this has shown up since the incident.
If it helps I have JCW springs, FSD struts, Mini Madness lower front brace, GTT mid-brace, 19mm rear swaybar, IE fixed camber plates.
I just needs any ideas what the issue may be.

Thanks, I'll do that. Looked at the rear endlinks and they seemed fine. Hopefully it's just the front ones and not the bushings. Don't mind getting them replaced with Powerflex ones but was going to wait a short while longer.
Most of the suspension stuff was installed a little over a month ago. I looked at all of that and did not see anything. I guess when I went to the dealer I should have made it more clear I wanted the car checked out too. They fit me in at the end of the day to get what they did taken care of so I think they just hurried through.
