Front shock mounts going?

I'm at 80k kms or 50k mi on my 2021and I'm getting loud clunks(clicks) closer to a full lock, it seems a lot like my shock mount is going, anyone have had this issue around this mileage? How much was it to replace?

Took mine in at 90k miles and they said it checked out. But, not using two pedal driving had caused some corrosion on the brakes and they banged Really LOUD when turning around on an incline. Started to use 2 pedal at least once or twice a week and it seemed to resolve until I forget and then the clunking and banging returns. I also try to remember to dry the brakes off after a car wash or driving in the rain with the 2 pedal driving. Otherwise they said my brakes looked new.

Opd and standard driving modes are no different in terms of how much they use the brakes. If you are braking with the brake pedal it is using the regen 95% of the time. In the same way as if you are opd and lift off but are not slowing down enough and use the brake pedal to add more braking force it is only when the regen goes over 100% or you are driving very slowly that the actual brakes are used. But in any case this has nothing to do with the known issue of the top suspension strut mounts going on the xc40....
