Just changed control arm bushings but...

It still clunks over bumps. It's not lowered either. My steering wheel doesn't move or when I go over bumps and my steering doesn't seem loose at all. I also was pushing on the car side to side, Driver side no noise so moved over to passenger side and pushed and that's where all the noise was coming from. Has anyone come across this problem and what was the fix? Thanks in advance.

Check your sway bar bushings, I replaced my sway bar end links and problem persisted and it turns out it was the sway bar bushings all along.
