    Most of these items were replaced due to wear, a few to try and "fix the noise".

    The clunk can be heard from the front end over the smallest of bumps.

    It's heard more than felt, if that makes sense. Don't really feel it in the steering wheel or brake pedal.

    -Complete left and right front strut assemblies with springs and mounts.
    -Left and right sway bar links.
    -Left and right sway bar bushings.
    -Left and right ball joints.
    -Left and right inner and outer tie rods.
    -Left and right control arms.
    - Left and right CV axles.

    Tomorrow I'm going to check for loose bolts at the k-frame and control arms.

    Can you feel it at all in the steering, rocked back and forth with someone feeling different areas on the front cross member and chassis and the steering rack itself?
