Default right front tire clunking

Hey all!

I've noticed a strange clunking in the passenger front tire area when I brake at both low and high speeds.

A search has pointed to ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rods, and shocks. All of which have been replaced.

I'm wondering if there is anything I'm missing or what kind of advice everyone here had for me.

Cheers!

Check the upper strut mount bolts and the shaft nut in the middle

When you refurbished your struts, did you replace your strut mounts/bearings?

I would also check your sway bar bushings/connections: both center bracket bushings/nuts, end bushings, and drop link bushings/nuts.
