I've got the clunks GDmit and I'm not happy. I took her in Monday, said sway end links and changed them out. Drive home feeling good till my driveway and clunk or rather clink clink. Same sound. What's next? Any ideas? I'm thinking tie rod but surely that woulda been the first they checked. Help. I hate the clunks.

No sir, it's more at real slow speeds going over abnormal pavement. Sounds like a 'clink' but it's when turning.
Upper ball joints. Mine only made noise when turning.

Did you replace the sway bar bushing? or the links. Links are usually ok on these cars. Bushings are junk though. cheap fix to. on 12 dollars at the dealer.. and it's a DIY project..
Happen to me! It's definitely the suspension. Every bolt on your suspension needa to be inspected and/or tightened. They tightened just one bolt about a 1/4inch and the sound went away for good. Go to a shop n have them tighten up everything in your front sway bars and control arms.

Front end "Klunk" can be any (or some...or all) of the following:
-Tie Rod Ends
-Ball Joints
-Sway Bay End Links
-Tension Strut bushings
-Lower control Arm Bushings
-Upper Control Arm Bushings
The Rubber bushings in the tension struts and control arms cars have a tendency to tear.....it is a common issue
I had the "klunk" in my Magnum and it was the Tension Strut Bushings..........I currently have to replace the Tension struts and lower control ams in my SRT8 Charger as I have the "Klunk" and the bushings are showing signs of tearing.
This is an example of what to look for:
