Checked wheels and there is no play when moving it 3, 9 or 12, 6. Moved steering wheel back and forth slowly and there was no noise. I placed my hands on the hood and pushed the car to see if there was any noise from struts and there is none. Anything common you have seen back in the days? Coming from driver side only on bumps.

Yep, the sway bar links, or main frame bushing will make this clunking noise. Check the links and the bushing, Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.

The sway bar links look okay, I would say it would be strut problem. Sometimes the strut will make noise when driving but not when pushing down on the fender. Thanks for the video. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
