Default Minor clunking noise from front passenger side >>>

Seems to be coming from the front passenger side suspension area. It seems consistent when going slow over bumps and is a metallic clunking sound.

Based on forum searches, here's what I have done so far-

(1) Replaced the sway bar bushings with the powerflex bushings from TT stuff (the plastic shroud was broken under the old bushing).

(2) Removed the front passenger side suspension and reassembled with Koni Sports/H&R sport springs.

(3) Checked CV joints

(4) Checked sway bar end link

ANY ideas on where to go next would be greatly appreciated? The sound does not seem to be affecting anything, but is just annoying.

Tx.

Default What kind of noise does a bad wheel bearing make? Is it a DIY job? >>>

Or do I need special tools etc to do it?

Tx.

Default I had a popping and clunking and a subtle vibration as speeds increased...

The bearing must be pressed out/in so it requires special tools. I believe the labor charge ended up being 3 hours labor.
