Ok I've searched everywhere and I still have a front end noise only at low speeds when hitting multiple small bumps, going over railroad tracks or pulling into an incline driveway if I'm driving normally and hit a bump I don't hear this thump noise only when I'm going slow I'd say 10mph
-i replaced front struts and strut bearings along with the rears
-sway bar bushings replaced
-sway bar links replaced
-checked my fender bolts both sides were tight
had the car up on the lift checked the whole front end and nothing is loose
This is starting to get annoying
 
Something sounds loose, when the car is on the ground, go under and wiggle the areas you have touched, might be the sway bar end links- i had the same issue once..Check your top strut nut i beileve its 14mm.
 
I had a similar type of noise going over bumps and other things. For me it ended up being that the latch on the hood was loose and was actually causing the hood to make noises.
 
Well I checked everything and it's all tight still have the noise you can feel it in the steering wheel slightly so it has to be suspension the only thing I did notice however is with the car in the air and moving each wheel by hand the powersteering seems like it has play and makes a click noise anytime you wiggle the wheel left and right
 
It might be the steering column half shaft that is worn? It is links the interior side of the steering column to the rack and pinion. Start the car, turn the steering wheel left and right to see if you hear any knocking/thump noise.
 
I'm leaning towards possibly a motor mount sometimes when I start the car on a cold start I hear a thump noise coming from the drivers side
 
Did you solve this problem? I'm dealing with a similar issue. Clanking noise that started months ago and is getting worse. Makes it when going over bumps and shifts/uneven road. Like backing out of our driveway that's steep, as I move over the arch of the driveway it makes the noise. When driving the shifts are much more subtle but the clanking noise is there. I put the car on ramps and may have identified the issue. The joint on the lower section of the steering column makes the noise when you pull/yank the steering wheel to the right.
 
He has not been on here for a while now. From your finding, that noise from the steering column is more dull than the "clanking" noise you after though. May want to take a look to see if the back plate on the hub is hitting against the rotor?
