I recently had my sway bar bushings replaced but there is still a clunk sound as if they are bad. I have had the suspension checked by two different mechanics and they do not have any idea what it could be. There are no issues with the suspension, all of the bushings are in good condition as well. The sound is specifically coming from the front passenger side of the car. It sometimes will not occur going over big bumps but when going over slight bumps it makes the noise. I have checked as best I could to see if there are any loose parts, or bad wheel bearings, etc. I've run out of ideas. What could this be?

Could be a ball joint or a strut mount

brake pads. does it do it when reversing and tapping the brake?
strut mount is also a good candidate.

I have a 2012 GT with numerous suspension noises. Its been in the dealership 6 times for different noises. The most recent was a hollow thump in the rear of the car. Sounded like my exhaust was hitting the bottom side of the car over bumps. In the beginning, it was making noise here and there. Finally the noise was apparent over every small bump or man hole cover I drove over. Dealership found the rear sway bar end links were bad. They replaced both and the noise is gone. Thank god!

might wanna have the motor mounts checked to! if its completey shot, i would think it could cause this issue also and also the cross member on transmission the bushing could be worn out

Also check the K Member to frame mount bolts.
