Clunk in right front suspension after coming off speedbump

Had a lot of suspension work over the 40k miles I"ve had this car, but this one hasn't been fixed yet. If I go over a big speedbump, slowly, wen the right wheel comes down, it makes a sloppy clunk. Bushings, joints, arms have been replaced or removed and tightened in the time this problem has existed. Something shock related?

Did you inspect the top shock mount. If it has ANY cracks it is bad, in my experience.

Replace two on the old 190e and it was a great improvement.

shock shock shock!

if a shock is worn it will let the wheel flop down too fast, making a thunky noise. change your shocks to some new bilsteins and you will be shocked at how your car feels like a new car again.
