Got this clunking noise that happens over medium sized bumps. Sounds like a loose ball joint but they were all replaced. Weird think is that when it's cold out the sound is there. During the summer the sound is rare. Shocks and hubs have been replaced too. Anyone ever have this problem?
 






Check your tie rod ends (inner and outter). I had to replace my right inner one time because of a clunk. Check into it.

Check your swaybar endlinks too. The bushings on my were bad, so it caused bumping noises then hitting bumps due to the extra play. Cheap $30 fix if it is, and if it's not you've only lost about 1 minute checking.
