that should work, this may sound dumb but did you tighten down your struts fully? Could also be your strut mounts have gone bad.

Will it be obvious when I take the strut out that it is bad? What should I look for?

Before taking everything off, have you tried pushing down on either side of front of the car to replicate the noise?

A bad strut mount would show cracks or breaks within the rubber isolator between the spring and the bottom of the mount.

Yes, and I can not replicate the sound doing this. I will order some new mounts and the rubber isolators and start eliminating possible issues this week.
