if it's any consolation ,i understand your frustration, having just gone through chasin this stuff myself..i finally (fingers crossed) got it right.this may or may not help .i've got a '98 v70t5m.i replaced struts/shox and all of the associated mounts .i even replaced a arm /ball joint on one side. still the clunking continued and now it was on drivers side as well.i replaced the sway bar links( which i was told were "young") that corrected the problem...but the point is one loose part begets another.check everthing they tell you to on these forums ,including rack ,a arm bushings and strut tower bolts etc. go thru every damn one....one at a time... and you will find the problem.sway bar end links are certainly expected to do a lot...and mcpherson strut setups are weird but persistence will prevail and so will you GOOD LUCK
