I just rebuilt the entire front end of my 1986 300SDL.

-idler arm
-upper control arm bushings and ball joints
-sway bar bushings
-lower control arm bushings and ball joints
-eccentric bolts
-guide rod mounts and bushings
-suspension bracket bushings
-tie rods
-center link
-steering damper

After I finished I still heard a clunk when accelerating or braking and sometimes over bumps while turning.

I took it to a reputable indie mechanic to align the front end and check over my work and try to find where the problem is.

They said the passenger side upper control arm bushing was defective and they replaced it. They said the clunk was gone and I could pick up the car, but when I drove it home it was still clunking.

I decided to take it to another mechanic I use for inspections. They thoroughly inspected the front end and couldn't find the clunk either. They said they couldn't hear or feel it to begin with, but nothing looks unsafe.

I just picked up the car and it's still clunking.

What do I look at next? There's nothing left that I'm aware of to replace under the front end.
