Question Clunking noise? Shock mount or torque arm?

I have a clunking noise that sound like its coming from the right front suspension over small bumps. I've had that side apart several times to investigate. The problem eludes me. I'm starting to fear the worst and suspect the koni has an internal issue. Has anyone had issues with the top shock mounts? The torque arm bushings? Konis?

Could be something as simple as a strut bushing. Does the car drive straight? bounce? or shake at any speeds?

No, nothing weird. I mostly notice it at low speeds over bumpy surfaces. I hear it everyday when i pull into my garage. (Theres a two inch difference in concrete height, when the front tire hits it I get a cluncking noise

A friend of mine had the same problem...mainly over railroad tracks and pot holes.Also happen when he would hit 2nd real hard. He ended up replacing his LCA and it solved his prob.
