'98 S70 Front End Clunk??? S70 1998

Help! I have a semi-metallic popping noise coming from the mid to right (passenger side) of the engine bay... I'm not sure what is next, I recently replaced the ball joints, top engine mount and both side end links. There is a little bit of play in the outer tie rod end, but not much. Also I replaced the passenger side lower engine mount about 10k miles ago. Anyone have any ideas for what is next?

    What speed is it happening at? What road conditions? If the spring seat/strut mount goes, it causes an annoying clunk at relatively low speeds (under 35mph or so) but not at higher speeds. It will happen with the slightest irregularity in the road surface.

      It is generally at low speeds, when coming to a stop in reverse and when starting in 1st. It is definately more pronounced with the wheel turned off (either way) and surface conditions mostly do not apply. Is there any way to test the Spring seat myself, or should I take it in to a shop?

      Thanks guys!
