Rainy day blues 200 1989

I have noticed that my suspension makes clunking sounds on bumps and turns only on rainy days. What gives?

Probably the control arm bushing sleeves get wet and start to bind.

I have no idea why they do it, but they do.

Or strut bearings, but that would be a little less likely because they're farther from the wet and better protected.
