Front End Clunk/Knock When Changing Direction & Steerin

I'm a bit of a loss here. I just replaced my left control arm (bad ball joint) after having completely rebuilt the front end 3 years ago (new Bilstein struts, OEM strut mounts, bearings, control arms, stanchion arms, sway bar links, and tie rod ends). The clunk was there before I did the work 3 years ago and appeared again a few months afterwards. I was hoping that this weekend I'd be able to trace it's origins while I was replacing the control arm but I could find anything loose.
The 'clunk' is more like a 'knock' that sounds like something is shifting position....snapping into place....after I have backed out of a parking space for example. It involves 'extreme' steering and change in direction....going from backing up to driving forwards. To me it sounds like it's coming from the top of the strut.....strut bearing???
