the best way to describe the sound is that its like a clunking sound that a train makes while going down the tracks
thats how my 87 gt sounds like when going down a bumpy road
i have replaced the inner and outer tie rods, sway bar bushings, sway bar end links, ball joints, checked the wheel bearings and repacked them.
the spring isolators are there and they dont look dry rotted or split anywhere
the noise is coming somewhere around the front passanger side wheel
i dont know if it would have any thing to do with my control arm or not
what else can i try please help!!!!

Brake caliper

Pretty sure this is your noise,Try lightly riding the brakes to see if noise goes away.Brake caliper on mine rattled like this,enough to drive you crazy.Replaced the pads which tightened them up enough to go away.

I had a similar sound coming from the front end of my car this past summer, it ended up being the rubber bushings the caliper "slides" on.This may or may not be your problem but it couldnt hurt to check.
