Default Front shocks

If you have the clunking front end that looks like is a comon problem on these cars will just changing the front shocks cure the problem? I understand thats a hard question to answer but maybe some of you have experiance with this issue. Also if you replace the shocks do you need to mount bushings also or do they come with the shock? The service department where my car is at says that all the tie rods and other bushings are good.

We have a kit that allows you to change just the bushings:

You do need to press the old unit apart and the new back together. These are poly, so you won't be in the same boat any time soon!
