HELP! Front suspension clunking noise

My max has less than 700 miles and I noticed that when I go a little fast over speed bumps, when I'm going down the bump, there is a clunking noise coming from the front suspension. I tried to do a search and didn't really find anything. Anyone have any clues? I just got my Maxspeed springs in and would like to fix this problem before dropping in the springs.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Sounds like the spring is adjusting when it expands. Take the car in dood. If it has 700 miles on it it needs to go to the dealership.

Might get it checked for the new recall on the front suspension too.
