I crawled around and pulled on the guide rod mounts but no obvious movement, ball joints are recent as are steering components.
#1 - Could the guide rod mounts feel tight when stationary on stands but clunk when in motion?
#2 - Front sway bar is original but the bushings feel OK.
Same question as #1.
Shocks and springs are original.
Which car is this noise on???
VIN# please.

FYI: Even poor/moderately bad guide rod mounts need vehicle mass/chuckhole impact to clunk = unless they are totally demolished you can't check them by hand.
The clunking is distinct, it comes from directly under the driver/passengers feet.
