2020 GT PP1, 13k miles. Tracking mostly. I recently added adjustable BMR camber plates and Steeda adjustable end links. I have the stock sway bar and SR Performance lowering springs. Stock shocks. I have a faint clunking sound when going over bumps. Any ideas? I have not adjusted the end links yet. Could they be causing the problem? I also did not modify the bump stop. Thanks for the help. I’m 16 hours into finding the clunk. LOL.

Steeda endlinks have a grease fitting. Sometimes they come in contact with the strut when turning or going over bumps. It happened to me and put a small dent in the struts. I swapped out for links without a grease fitting. I would check to see if there is contact between the fitting and the strut body when it’s on the ground

Right on. Yes, mine have grease fittings. I’ll check that as well. Thank you.
 
Two others that I've experienced: The upper spring perch / bearing (forget exact name) could be bad. Or, the one I chased for 1 entire year: The strut itself was bad, finally could see the shock's shaft moving while applying force to the tire.
