Call it a win and carry on...

Only way a failed joint would get quiet is if it totally separated. I'm sure you'd notice other issues, like needing regular door handle replacements, if that was the case.

So, either it was something else displaced that went away (literally) or the end links are so shot, they even stopped clunking. Is the latter possible? I think that they would just get super loud if the ball joints fail and loosen completely, correct?

The car goes in for safety inspection in 2 weeks, so I may just wait to see what they find before throwing new end links on it.

It's possible that the clunking endlink broke, but the steering response should be noticeably worse if so (speaking from experience...). You can turn the wheel and take a look without lifting the car
