Mods please move to maintenance and non performance.

I've developed this low speed clunky vibration over bumps from the front end of my car. It's noticeable on the left side. Upon jacking it up, all control arm bushings seem in-tact and without play. I tightened the crossmember bolts very tight as well. Ball joints were replaced a year or so ago, but with cheap parts so I'm not sure on the quality. I know I need a passenger side outer tie rod as well.
While in the air if i hit the 12 o'clock position on the tire it makes a vibrating noise similar to the one I hear on bumps. If I compress the spring by hand and hit the tire, the noise almost goes away. Is this a sign of a failing strut bearing? The right side of the car made no noise when I hit the tire.
