Front strut clunk

I developed a clunking noise in the front end. After inspecting I found there is play at the top of the strut where it attaches to the wheel well (fender). Is there a replacement spacer or bushing available or do I need to replace the strut?
Thanks,

The sway bar bushings are known for making a clunking noise when they wear a little.

Depends how far up the strut tops poke out, if they're poking out a fair bit then the strut top bushes will be needing replaced, they get squashed over time.
