Intermittent clunking in the front suspension.
I have an issue where I can't detect what's causing an intermittent clunking noise in the front of my 2016 GS350 F Sport RWD. The car has been lowered on RSR Best *i coilovers for a bit more than a year now. It also has adjustable upper control arms for camber adjustments for about the same amount of time.
Since hearing the clunking sound, I have swapped out stabilizer bar links twice and have also replaced the OEM bushings with like for like. Still the sound persists. I'm starting to think a bit far fetched and wondering if it could possibly be one of the engine mounts. The car is currently at 51K miles.
I don't know if anyone has had similar issue with their car, but I would greatly appreciate any advice that could help to detect and solve this annoying problem.

The coilovers have about 10k miles on them. I'm going to take the front coils out and have a look at the upper mounts.
Thanks for the feedback.

I've been doing a bit of research and it does seem the sunroof is a strong contender. I'm going to check it tomorrow for any play or looseness..
