I had the same problem and I think I have the answer. I was the one who posted some news about the front end clunking and no one had figured it out. It drove me nuts too. Yes, the clunking also quiets down in the rain. I spent a ton of money on new mounts (engine and tranny), new strut mounts, new bearings, bushings and no change. THEN....after taking my car to the dealer, I left it there, told them that I paid enough money, give me a loaner and figure it out !!! They spent days on it and found that the bolt on the right side that holds the frame to the subframe had come loose on the right side and were rusting. Bolts are in the front and on both the left and right side. They bolts were replaced with new ones, tightened and WHAM...my front end finally sounds like new. Apparently, these bolts, when loose, cause the whole front suspension to jump around and clunk. How about that!
