Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It didn't fix the clunk up front so doing ball joints/lower control arms next.

I feel your pain. I did the same drop link replacement, only to still hear the clunking! Let us know if doing the ball joints AND control arms solves the problem.
