Still have that clunk

I replaced sway bar links and had to replace front sturts so $500 later, runs smooth but still have that damn clunk. Les scwab mechanic says its on the HHr's He has had a couple and he cannot find the problem.

So, ive tried autozone and they dont have them. Where can I buy these MOOG links and zerk fittings?

I tried a few links on here but they didnt work.

I am in Michigan.

Thanks for your help guys!

torque correctly all the bolts for the sway bar links , lower control arms, strut bearing plate, they do loosen up and need to be addressed once in a while
