1999 ES300 will make clunking noise when hitting bumps at 30-50mph.
Coming from front right only No driving bad habits just noise over bumps on
that one side.
Sounds like a pipe is loose but isn't.
Replaced the sway bar ends I think they are. Run vertical on both sides but
no difference.
Mechanic says the sway bar bushings are next.
Any suggestions?

Check the strut mount bushings. If they are bad and you decide to have the
struts replace at the same time the strut mount bushings are replaced, check
out the lifetime parts and labor warranty on struts at the dealer.
