Default Chasing Clunk in front end

HI Guys

Just want confirmation as to what i think is making the noise. It happens when turning left or right but only when majority of weight transfers from side to side. I have replaced all bushes in front end and noise is still there, so this leads me to Ball joints? BUt if i jack the car off the ground and move wheel and supension components i cannot get it to make a noise and cannot see any movement in ball joints.

But maybe i cannot put enough weight on it to get it to make the noise?

Has to be ball joints as everything is replaced in the front.

Have you tried rocking the car side to side as hard as you can? Perhaps get a mate to help, almost as if you are trying to roll it over (but try not to go that far).

The 2 clunks ive had in my front end were Steering damper on full lock.
And the 2nd was more over bumps which turned out to be top shock rubbers dead.
