Clunking noise in front passenger side...please help!

Hope that you are able to see this video...I am new to the forum and need some help. I have this terrible clunking noise coming from the front passenger side...not sure if it is sway bar end links...bushings...shocks? Hoping for some input on which direction I should go first!

Thanks!

I had a similar clunking noise in the same area when I installed my Eibach springs back in 2010. I only heard the noise at low speeds and mostly on med/hard wheel turns (sometimes over speed bumps). I did not hear the noise at higher speeds. I assumed because it wasn't loud enough and/or the suspension might not be working as hard at higher speeds.

Acura inspected the front end and replaced shocks (even with aftermarket springs); but, the noise remained. Then noise disappeared a few months later to never to return again (+75,000 miles since install).

It could be anything from wheel bearings, brakes, loose body parts/panels, and/or suspension parts. You have to determine the conditions when you hear the noise to help the mechanic narrow down the issue (low speeds only, louder with speed, hard turns, pulls to one side on hwy, noticing more abnormal wear on front tire(s), more/less noise when braking, etc...).
