I have a 2000 323i with 177k on the clock. I recently did the brakes/control arms/cabs (THR cabs) about 6+ months ago. Within the past 2 weeks, the car has developed a clunk.

This clunk does NOT happen over speed bumps and such. I can get a good 3 clunks really fast if I'm turning left from a dead stop, accelerating up hill. Not always with a right turn. On the highway, I hear nothing. In parking lots, I sometimes hear stuff.

It doesn't seem to be brake dependent at all. I noticed the sway bar link on that side was bad so I replaced that. Sway bushings look fine. Still clunks. I'm going NUTS! What IS IT?!
