C5 X7 Front Suspension Issues

[Chaotic]

Hello all.

Im having an issue with my C5 x7 2012 2.0 HDI 120kw. The front struts leaked and i ordered new ones and got them installed. The issue now is that whenever im going over a hole thats slightly more deep theres a very loud thunk, like the suspension is toping out or something.

kraM had the similar issue in this thread but there were no replies to his specific comment:

I have done the bleeding excersise quite a few times as per the instructions i found here but that doesnt seem to change anything.

Have you had the drop links checked?

Not yet, i changed the spheres because the suspension is hard, but nothing changed so im guessing the struts themselves are faulty. Im gonna get genuine parts this time but not sure where to order from, there seem to be massive differences in prices even though they are listed as genuine.
