Banging from front end of mazda 5 when hitting any bumps

[Autozonesuck]

I replaced my front struts (bought ready mounts from autozone) now every time I gonkver even a small bump my front end makes a banging noise. From research it makes me think sway bar bushing. (I have 70k miles) whether or not this could be related i also have a 1" height difference between ground and bottom of front bumper from my right side to left side (measured while parked on flat level ground, with no abnormal weight in vehicle)

If your sway bar bushings were bad i would think they would have been banging before you did the new struts, not after. Something is definately amiss with the height difference, I'm assuming the ready-mounts came with new strut mounts? If you re-used the old ones that would explain the gross difference in height between sides. Mine began banging/rattling after strut change as well and I'm afraid it is because I didn't get the top nut on the strut itself tight enough before installing them. I'm taking mine to a shop to have them figure it out and will post what they find when they find it.
