Front end noise suspension problems

So almost a year and a half has passed after hitting a curb. One new strut later, for the passenger side the drivability issue was fixed. Well the past few weeks the drivers side has been making a popping sound when braking at various speeds of 40 and under. Going over bumps at lower speeds the drivers side makes a loose knocking sound and gets worse depending on how bad the road condition was. At higher speeds while encountering different elevations of the road the car bump steers. I have noticed some slight vibration at 45+ mph.
I don't think it's the bushings because there are too many things occurring at this point. I'm aware that its hard to figure suspension issues over a thread, in fact ive taken it in for diagnostics and just wanted to get an idea of what it could be.
I'm thinking it might be a strut that needs to be replaced... Keep in mi d that I just hit 90
Thanks for any help!

Check the sway bar end link. Even if it looks intact, the ball joints may be fubar'd. I would also look at your spring perch---really just the bottoms where the springs may have worn down the isolator and be rubbing down on the metal perch. You do have a few things going on but you might also have more than one problem.

So it looks like that the dealer says that there is something in the suspension that was loose and needed to be tightened up.. As for the clicking sound that was being made while breaking it was due to a pin that is in the brakes And those need to be inserted. Frankly I find it hard to believe but we'll see when I get the car back. I don't know how something can go loose. And if that is the case then thank you God! Lol

so I got the car back from the dealer and they managed to lube up some specific areas of the suspension... the issue with the going over bumps has been fixed because they had to tighten up the strut mounts that made a big time differnce! However I still here a popping sound when I approach different elevations in the ground or when I brake. I'm sure the sound is present while accelerating as well but the engine does not allow me to hear it clearly. Could this just be a bad strut that needs replacement? even a part that allows the suspension to flex? The sound is persistently on the drivers side.
Any thoughts would be great!
Thanks guys!
