Default clunking while driving and bumps..

so when I drive it sounds like something is hitting or moving when I hit little bumps that normally would go un noticed.. then at highway speeds it is a rapid cluncking noise that has no pattern, just happens. new ball joints, ujoints are good amd wheel bearings tight, this is coming from the drivers front side....idk what it is

How's your trackbar feel? I was having similar issues and it ended up my trackbar was as sloppy as a Friday night bar bunny.
