Hi,
Could anyone figure out what this clunking sound could be?
Front driver side damper has already been replaced.

My immediate go-to would be the caliper. I would check to make sure that the two bolts connecting it to the hub are properly tightened.

It's ironic that this thread popped back up, since I just dropped off a replacement bushing for the control arm compliance mount at my local shop. Control arm was clunking around in the housing, since the bushing was blown out.

Driver side or passenger side?

Control arm bush does not start noise in one day.
It gives you little small noise and gradually increases.


Sway bar link starts making noise all of a sudden

If sway bar links the easiest way to check is open the door on the questionable side and get on the ground and hold the link, then have a friend grab the door and rock the car. Takes 5 minutes even including the time to make a new friend.

also if control arm bushings you may be able to visually see, plus rv6 makes good replacements
