Default clunking

While im buying parts for my audi, every time i go over a speed bump the front passenger side wheel does a clunking sound. I read somewhere that this may be that the bushing is shot?

any suggestions?

Very likely. You should plan on replacing your front control arms - they're well known as a fail point on this car and the clunk is typically from a failure of one or more of the control arm bushings. When one goes, it's reasonable to expect others to go as well. Do 'em all at once and be done with it.

I had the same problem, replaced all my control arms, and still have the same clunk sound. Any ideas? I have H&R coilovers, but everything is tight...
