Default Clunking at low speed after strut replacement

Hello,

Had a local euro car guy replace 2 struts/mounts on my 2016 S60 T5 Inscript. Felt great until I was near the house and rolling along at maybe 10 MPH. Heard clunking or knocking sounds driver side front.... new sound never heard before. Any ideas before I go back to euro car guy? Sway bar links, loose mount nuts?
Thanks for your input.

could be sway bar end links or bushings, could be the spring was not seated correctly or the strut bushing was not tightened properly. Pop off the wheel and check how the spring is seated, see if there's any play in the strut top side. To check the sway bar end links, its best to have both front wheels up - otherwise the bar will have tension on it.
