Occasional Clunk

Occasional Clunk
So after having replaced the ball joints at 86k miles, struts and mounts/caster arms at 94k miles, swaybar links and bushings within the past year, upper control arms within the past two years, and even the steering rack bushings, my car has again developed an OCCASIONAL clunk. It seems to be most prevalent on plowed roads with minor dips, but when i hit a larger bump it is sometimes silent.
Now here are things I've noticed. The car is vibration free all the way up until 90 mph, the balljoints are greased, its not a creak or anything, the steering feels the same and the car doesn't wander, and the ride is the same as it always has been. Is there anythimg I'm missing?
If it was the struts/mounts, it would be consistent right? Or am i completely out of line. I'll try to see if something is loose, but I'm really hoping its not the strut or mount as i relaced them with KYB and OEM parts just this past summer.
