Default Front end clunk, what to check?

Sorry if this has been covered but couldn't find a good overview of front end suspension components on our cars.

I bought the car @80k and it had a faint clunk on bumps. Now at 95k and its gotten pretty loud. I looked it over pretty good on the lift and couldnt find any obvious failures: sway bar links is what is sounds like. Also Going to replace the LCA rear bushings with RCF/GSF ones because i got some heavy camber wear.

What components go bad on these cars around this mileage?
Is there a FSM download here?
Thanks

Im going to start tearing down the front end and probably just do coilovers. ill let u know what i find. This site tends to be more about wheels and stance than repair knowledge it seems

Had clunk getting louder on gs460 in FR and it turned out to be a blown shock.
