clunk?

Folks,
I tried to post to the list from a new account and got bounced..
The gist of the question is: after redoing the suspension w/ Bilsteins and
H&R springs, as well as new tie rod ends, strut bearings, etc., I put 20k
miles on it with no issues (once I had the H&R coil "sleeves" installed"). A
total dream machine.
I have recently developed a clunking noise when going over bumps, but the
front end seems tight at all of the suspension mounting points. (As verified
by myself, and yesterdays PA State Safety inspection. The inspector also
heard the noise, and was 'eager' ($$) to find a reason to fail the car, but
could find nothing.)
It kinda sounds like a tube type shock with the rubber bushing gone.
Could this be consistant with subframe mounts begging to be replaced? Any
BTDTs would be appreciated, as well as info on the R & R.
I don't have time for any diagnostics today, as I have to jump in and drive
it 7 hours up to Boston.
Best regards,
Mark Woodland
