Those are not designed by Steeda. Those are oem Ford parts sold by Steeda. Always have been.
Aside from that the clunking you hear is much more likely to be the strut bearing, not the strut itself.
I'll check on that strut bearing. Is that a separately replaceable part?
According to Steeda, they computer designed their strut to OEM specs. At least that's from their mouths.

Yes it’s separate and ask Steeda why their house designed struts and shocks for this car have Ford logos on them.

My guess is dealers for warranty work just slap in a whole strut assembly because it’s so easy. That’s like 6 bolts and 15 minutes vs having to disassemble the strut to swap the bearing.
Thanks. I figured. Was looking at the workshop manual for that. Just need Ford to say ok. Ya figured they’ve had this issue on the ssm notice. They cant see it’s been happening. Seems they want to see how far they can stretch this.
