A weird noise under my car!?!?!?!

Ok so I have a 1999 Mazda Protege with 140k on it.
I am hearing this weird clunking noise underneath the front end of my car. It only makes the sound when I go over bumps (doesn't matter the size of bump either). It sounds like it is coming from both sides of my car, like around the brake area. I just did the brakes about a month ago and they have been working just fine, and they still are working fine. I put new Kyb2 struts on about two years age, and they are working great. I am at a loss right now I feel like my car is falling apart on me. I am a ok mechanic. I am more a Subaru guy then a Mazda guy, but I really like Mazda.
Thank you for your help.

Do you think it could be a cv axle? or a tie rod end?

cv joint would be a rolling cruching type sound, check the stabilizer bar links just behind the wheel on the rearside of the front brake ***'y. they wear out and easy to replace
