Default 1998 ES300 suspension noise

I have purchased a 1998 ES300 couple years ago. It has 120000 miles on it. When I bought it the suspension was making all kinds of noises. Since then I have replaced the front struts, front strut mounts, front control arms, front sway bar bushings, front sway bar links, front tie rod ends, front ball joints, all brake disks, all brake pads. Some of the parts have been replaced at the Toyota dealership and some of them I replaced myself. I plan to replace the rear struts soon. My car still makes thumping noise over bumps but much less then it was before. It sounds like it comes from the front end. Replacing ball joints made a big difference. What else should be replaced? Thanks.
