Clunking sound on right side

So lately it sounds like something is "loose" for lack of a better word on my front right suspension (makes a hollow sound when i go over bumps on the front right). I had it up on jacks recently and took a crowbar to the bushings and they seemed OK. There wasn't obvious play and it wasn't noticeably different from the left side. There's no play when i try to yank the wheel. It seems to have started shortly after i installed my eibach pro with koni yellows. Is it possible its a bad shock? How would I diagnose that? Anything else i am missing? Any help is appreciated.

Check passenger side motor mount bolts on the block to see if any are broken

haven't figured it out yet, havent had a chance to work on it either. i put 2000 miles on the car last week for a work trip and it seems to have gone away? motor mounts are a good suggestion, havent checked those. is there an easy way to inspect/diagnose with out removing?
