not the ball joints?

kept hearing a clunk most times when i would brake. it made the clunk sound by the drivers side. so i changed the front ball joints. dint hear no clunk and it actualy felt a little better driving. but this was yesterday. now today i braked and it clunkd again. i need brakes and rotors but everything else is stiff. so i cant see how else im making this clunking sound.(what i have done to it in the past is strut replacement and centerling replacement). any ideas?

Check the control arm bushings.

Their cracked? That will do it. Replace them with OE bushings which are inexpensive and then do your brakes as well, if its still there, then come back.
