Just thought I'd post that I found and solved the clunk this afternoon.

Seems that BOTH top strut bolts had about 1/4" left to be torqued down. I'd swear they were tight when I put them in, but I guess not.

Foolish error on my part, Best to do that part with good light. Fortunately the same impact wrench pulled finally the front together. I only cost me a couple zip-ties from the bellows. It also gave me a chance to re-torque the strut gland nuts.

A test drive greeted me with no clunks and a pretty nice ride.

I think I can put off visually intact A-arm bushings until I can see or feel some collapse or excessive play down there.

Next up is the rear end.

Anybody got a pair of overloads they want to unload?
