Clunks in the front end

So my original problem I have a broken bushing on the lower right control arm and cluncking so I bought new pair of lower control arms. I replace the arms but I still have the clunking already replaced sway bar bushing and sway bar links any suggestions

Not much else besides struts. Check the bolts on the links Ive had them "not get tight enough", mainly because the wrench I used on the post was thicker than the gap. A beer can rolling around in the fender (Monday cars)?
