    You could also look for floor cracks under your feet where the firewall and the floor meet, this can crack causing a 'CLUNK' sound.

    Not strange at all. Mine has always done it when it's wet. Body mounts and all bushes were fine.
    Discovered it was the bottom of the coils on the spring perch making the noise but only over bumps when it's wet. Nothing to worry about. Factory coils had thin insulators there originally to stop the knocking.

    This is exactly the symptoms mine has atm, I'm doing the body mounts this weekend so I'll let you all know if it fixes the problem!

    PS. I had the pittman arm bushes, swaybar bushes and rod ends replaced a few weeks ago and it didn't stop the noise.

    I had also thought of this! So if the body mounts don't stop the noise, I'm going to try some 3-5mm insertion rubber under the coils.
