Anyone have any suggestions on what to change next? I did my thrust arms this weekend (most of the clunking is gone) but there's still a bit of noise when braking or side to side. Is it the sway bar ends?

Both have to be really tight to avoid clunking. Sway links can go bad or just not be in there tight enough, and the collar nut retaining the strut insert has to be good and tight or else that can clunk too...

I would make double sure on those two items before going any further. For the sway links, sometimes you can jack the front end off the ground and turn the wheel lock to lock to see if it clunks, but it still might not show up unless the wheels are loaded.
