drivers side clunk when wet

Ive notice i have a drivers side clunk only when its raining outside. Clunk occurs when coming to a stop then accelerating and also when going over bumps even at low speeds. I have poly sway bar endlinks and bushings. Also have new strut assemblys. Any ideas?

When i had this problem,my sway bar bolts were a little loose. Almost though it was ball joints until i had a look underneath.

Lower control arms. I had the same problem. Went away when I replaced both sides. Had 190K stock, noticed the sound around 120K. Could never figure it out until that was the only thing left to replace.
