Strut suggestions por favor

Hi everybody
Looking for suggestions on OE quality quickstruts.

​​My 165,000 Mile Fit base is starting to clunk pretty bad on my left front. Unless you guys know some other more specific reason it could happen, I think it's the strut. It does feel like it bottoms out kind of easily whenever I make a right turn compared to a left turn.

I'm not trying to keep the car forever but I'm also not trying to go cheap AF. I'm going to keep it for another couple years and then sell private party.

​​​​​​ it looks like rockauto's got three different options for Quick struts each under a hundred bucks a piece. I'm not trying to mess with the springs so quickstruts.

What do you suggest?

KYB would be the best choice. Those quick struts are garbage!

The car doesn't bounce, but it seems like it sits low like 2 fingers between the wheel and the wheel well.
I'm a 200 lb dude and when I lean on it it seems like just the tire is bouncing I don't feel any movement from the strut at all I don't think.

I'm an unlucky individual I would be that guy that the spring actually decapitated. That's why I prefer quickies

Could also be the top hat. My front left clunks as well, but from the "shake" test, the struts seem to be fine.
