99 TL front end knocking

99 TL. There is a knocking from the front end when I drive over bumps. Sounds like the right side. I can't find anything that looks worn, broken or out of place. I replaced many wear items like both CV axles, upper control arms with ball joints, both outer tie rod ends, sway bar bushings and both front struts. Sounds like metal knocking on metal. Any help to locate the issue is appreciated. I also replace all the engine and transmission mount s

Look at your sway bar end link and lower ball joint.

Stabilizer bar (aka. Swaybar) bushings are another distinct possibility.

I I looked at the lower ball joints an lower strut mount bushings they look fine I can't see any play in them. And I can't imagine the end links making the loud noise that I'm hearing.
