I would guess mounts in the back but struts being fine, and needing both in front. I am confused that the tech that I had do the bounce test didn't say immediately that I need new ones. They don't seem to be leaking either.

Appreciate the response, I'll see if I can diagnose a bit further...

Thoughts on the clunking?
Clunking or Clicking? Your original post said clicking, which would most likely mean bad track arms. The "wish bones." Especially if you hear the click at low speeds going over small bumps. The ball-pivots on those things have plastic bushings in them. Unfortunately they are not servicable, so you have replace the entire arms. But on mine those haven't really effected driveability and handling, even over bumps. The noise is more of a nuissance than anything.

Clunks could be a lot of things, including your strut mounts, stabilizer bushings or links, coffin arms, etc.
