Default 850 clunk

I got a clunk in my front end of my 94, 850 turbo. I just replaced the struts, the stabilazar links are new. The tie rods are OK you can turn ends a little in the socket but there is no wobble. The ball joints are OK,

The clunk only happens when I go over a pot hole.

If your control arms allow for separate ball joint replacement you might want to check the control arm bushings where they mount to the frame. If those bushings are worn that can cause a clunk as they shift position.

When you did the front struts did you replace the spring seats and the upper mount ??
