04 front strut thumping
 
Hello,
About a year ago I replaced the front struts (along with most of the front suspension) after a wreck, and I noticed that they would sometimes make a clunking/thumping noise while turning, especially hard turns. I figured this was just a property of new struts and it seemed to have no negative impact on steering, but it has been quite a while and while the left strut has stopped, the right strut has not.
Video of the issue:

Is this a known issue? Is there any way to stop it?

Thank you
