A quick test would be to remove the front underbody plastic panel and remove the biggest of the 4 bolts from the boomerang that secures the ball end of that arm, and then do the 3 & 9 shake again. If the clunk.is gone, that arm is the problem.
It does not move at all at 12 & 6 - the passenger side wheel has no play in any direction. I'm hoping it's the track arm since I have them on order (thank you again for the help on that btw!) and they seem much, much easier to do than a wheel bearing on this car... I've done wheel bearings on my girlfriends Prius, but those are the whole assembly and the axle nut only goes to 160 ft/lbs - have you done the fronts on a Boxster?
