clunking in front end

Any idea what this could be , my guess would be the control arm bushing . but I figured asking wouldnt hurt .

I Only seem to notice it when I hit a bump and/or crank my steering wheel back and forth , And you can feel it under your feet . Thats the best I can explain .

Could be cabs, could end link, could be strut mount.

If i drive on any smooth road my car feels great... no noises... and all feels tight. If i drive on a rough/bumpy road... towards the passenger side it makes a clunking noise over almost every bump... and quite annoying... steering wheel feels/stays tight... but the noise on the passenger side is sucky. It seems like its coming from the mid passenger side.... not from the strut.... but i could be wrong. I need to take a gander and see if the end link is broken or anything or CAB's are bad.

Seems to be a common issue.... anyone else have any ideas or had this same issue? Ii currently dont have a wheel key for my lug nuts... so until i get one i cant take my wheel off.

I had a clunking sound. Started last year. Only when it rained. I started by changing the endlinks.

That worked for a bit, until the clunking came back, and found it was the CABs. Replaced the CABs. Now everything is mint.
