Here's what I think at this point
Here's where I'm at ...
I feel like the clunking and chirping go together, but not positive. Her is my theory on that (which doesn't mean much, LOL). When the strut mount goes out initially, you will hear the clunk when the strut bottoms out over bigger bumps. After awhile of this happening, eventually the rubber mount wears a large enough hole to allow the strut to move enough to the point that the washer will rub on the flange of the tower.
Here is the pic of the original strut mount I replaced. You can see that the whole is worn to the point it allowed enough play for the washer to rub against the tower.
