knocking noises???? Need Help

[Shoman94]

Installed sub-frame connectors..all good
Installed eibachs, tokicos, strut mounts and bearings....started hearing knocking noises. They are pronounced in the passenger firewall/floor area and drivers firewall/floor area. So I changed my endlinks...still there....installed police subframe bushings....noise is still there. New tranny mount when I installed my new tranny....(BROKEN) noise is still there. If I have a passenger in the car the noises happen more often. I'm losing my head on this. Any Ideas???
These clunks only hapens on swoopy bump, not harsh fast bumps. Also more noticable when one side goes over the bump.

I think axles will make popping noises when turning if bad. Plus you could make sure your subframe mounts are tight, sometimes they dont get tightened right.

You wrote that you replaced the end links. Would those be the sway bar end links? Also check the sway bar frame mount bushings. They have a tendency to wear and allow a thumping over bumps. Did you inspect or replace the upper strut mounting plates - the ones where the strut shaft bolts through?

I went under tonite and checked every bolt....Yes I did change the swaybar links and the strut mounting plate and bearing.
The sway bar bushings look kinda deformed in there. I'm gonna order some new bushings anyways and try that I guess...that and the strut rod bushings are the only things left.
