Front Suspension Thud

I hear an occasional thud from the front of the car when driving 35 mph, hit small bumps, and the window down. Almost sounds like struts. Car has 63K miles on it. Any suggestions? I see that the front bearings can go frequently on these cars. Any other things to check? I will get under there this weekend.

Check that the ends of the sway bar drop links are tight, and check the camber adjustment nuts on the top of the strut.

Mind taking some pictures showing where/what to tighten up? I have a few odd noises from the front suspension as well.
