Default 2020 Blazer Front end clunking

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a 2020 Blazer with just under 60k Miles on it. The test drive I took it on was on fairly well maintained roads so the ride was very smooth and quiet. But once I got home I took it for a drive today and noticed that on some of the rougher roads where I live I hear a clunking sound on the passenger side when I hit bumps.
Now im not the most mechanically intelligent person when it comes to cars but i do know the basics, I know that sometimes this can be linked to ball joints or struts. I haven't had a chance to crawl under it and check but I wanted to know if anyone else has gone through a similar experience with a newer Blazer. GMAuthority.com said it could be the Cradle Brace is loose. But because it sound mostly on the pass side i feel it might be something else. Does anyone know how pricey of a repair these could be typically? I want to know what I could be getting into and what I would need to save up for the repair if it's anything complicated. Also how complicated they could be that I could do it myself instead of a shop.

Any help would be great until I can get under the vehicle myself and inspect it.

Check your sway bar links. Uplander vans were bad for this noise.

I have same issue despite replacing almost all of the front suspension including ball joints and sway bar bushings and links. I can’t track it down but seems like it is pass side too. Is your Blazer 4WD?
