Had this on a 2004 sebring. Apparently the sway bar bushings are
"disposable" on some chrysler products but alway make sure the sway bar has
NO CRACKS.

Also make sure the uper strut mounts have not let go, or the ball
joints have not worn out - or inner tie rod ends. All will cause
thunking on bumps - and I've seen all of the above on Chryslers
between 1985 and 1998. Since not much changed on most models ,
suspension wise, between 1998 and 2005, I imagine they are still valid
points.

There is a service bulletin to replace the sway bar bushings should take
just under a half hour to replace according to Chrysler. Make sure you get
the right size there is a half a millimeter difference between the two
choices.

I think it wouldn't hurt if you give it a try for the other
suggestions, but if any of them work you should consider the remote
possibility of taking a look at the rack and pinion steering gear
