Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I hear clunking noises coming from front end. I have replaced the shocks/struts
and the sway bars. I do not see damage to any of the boots for the CV and the
tie rod or ball joints. the noise goes away at high speeds on the freeway. What
could it be?

You can't really see a bad ball joint, unless it's ready to fall out. Google "how to check ball joints" and see if yours pass muster.
