I have a 2002 RX with 250K miles but in generally good shape. I have replaced all four strut assemblies (with quick struts), front tie rod ends, ball joints, sway bar end links and bushings, and rear sway bar bushings. It still 'clunks' going over curb cuts, speed bumps, etc. What should be replaced next? Probably front control arms, but in the rear I'm clueless. Thanks.

I always suggest evidence based repair(s).

Observe the play or abnormal movement of components. You need long levers to fight against at the weight and springs. Suspension shops offer free evaluations and you can choose to let them make repairs or tip them for spending time on your vehicle.

can you isolate the clunk noise to determine front or back?

Statistically (un-scientific ... based on posts in CL), front lower control arm bushings give way sooner.
