Check your subframe bushings

Try tightening the top hat more on your strut(s)

sway bar endlinks or aslo could be your lower control arm bushings.

I had clunking from my coilover camber plate coming loose at the strut. The top nut somehow came loose.... Check that.

I'm betting it's the stock top mounts. They're rubber and they're probably well beyond toast by now. Get some new ones.
