Default Clunk!

Trying to diagnose this clunk noise and I think it could be coming from possible the front suspension.

I replaced all motor mounts with avid racing motor mounts, so the motor doesnt move at all anymore. Also replaced brakes and rotors bran new so theres no more vibration from the old warped rotors. But still every once in awhile when I brake harder than normal I can still hear a (CLUNK) noise and seem to figure out what the hell it is.

Could it possibly be bad front LCA's? I know theres no way to answer this but just looking for suggestions on something common I havent already tried to work on?

Thanks in advance.

Put the car on jack stands and inspect it. Shake some things around under the car to see if you can find what is loose. I would take off the wheels too so that you can check the brake components.

Definitely will do. To be honest that is the answer I was looking for, I never thought of it before but I think I might need to upgrade these old LCA's with 180,000 miles on them. Will probably go with skunk 2 or something and then see if the (CLUNK) is gone after that.

Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it.
