Yes, I've checked those as well, and even the OE ones were in good shape, I've decided to replace them also with Lemforder ones.

True, finding a "dull" clunk in this suspension is really difficult.
Was hoping the new thrust arms and lower control arms will help, but installed new ones without any change...
Would the front drive shaft clunk on minor imperfections on the road?
