It's a 1991 LX, almost every time I hit a decent size bump thier is a loud bang that comes from the front drivers side wheel area (Sorry for not being that specific but I have no idea what this could be). It sounds to me like a shock is blown, but I replaiced them and the sound is still there. If you have any clue what this could be LMK, thanks.

Have someone jounce the vehicle up and down and get on the ground and listen for the noise. Also, do that same thing but open the door all the way and push up and down on that, it creates more
leverage to jounce the vehicle further.
