REVELATION on front end clunking !!

For all of you who have that front end clunking sound when you hit bumps and make sharp turns, I may have the answer. I was the one who posted some news about the front end clunking and no one could figure it out. It drove me nuts. Some said that it quiets down in the rain. Yes, the clunking also quiets down in the rain. I spent a ton of money on new mounts (engine and tranny), new strut mounts, new bearings, bushings and no change. THEN....I took my car to the dealer, left it there, told them that I paid enough money, give me a loaner and figure it out !!! They spent days on it and found that the bolt on the right side that holds the frame to the subframe had come loose on the right side and were also rusting. Bolts are in the front and on both the left and right side. The bolts were replaced with new ones, tightened and WHAM...my front end finally sounds like new !! Apparently, these bolts, when loose, cause the whole front suspension and bushings to jump around and clunk. How about that!
