"If deeper thump look toward the larger bushings : front side or back (sway bar). If higher click sound look at the small joints like sway bar link."
It's hard to put it into words but the clunking noise sounds like one part tapping/rubbing against something else when the front passenger wheel moves up and down. Most obvious when going over any irregularities on the road.
"If sway bar link you can tightly wrap with electrical tape and the sound will go away."
Wow, this I did not know.
I will give another thorough inspection later this evening. While I had the front jacked up last night, I tried moving and pulling the wheel side to side and front to back and there was no play that I could feel. So it may be safe to say the bushings on the upper/lower control arms are okay.
