Glad you solved your problem. My car had some very minor clunking coming from the front, thought I had discovered why when I noticed two driver's side bushings were bad. Getting ready to look at it more closely accidentally noticed the passenger side nut loose. Noise is gone but bushings still need attention.

Couple of really interesting thing happened after. One steering got much sharper/tighter and evenly weighted side-side. Second driver's side rear previously sat about 1/4" higher than it should have. That's gone too. The only thing I can think of is that nut being loose had less pre-load on that corner, making it a bit softer. Tightening it up brought pass front corner up and pushed weight diagonally to LR, closing the gap.

I have new control arms and Strongflex poly tension strut bushings to install, really curious how that will affect steering and road feel.
