Front Clunking noise after a bit of driving

So the issue ie this ill get to what ive done so far, just looking for other things to maybe look at and more ideas. So ill go for a drive and after about a half hour or so it will start to make a clunking noise on the passenger side front area, mostly at lower speeds and more durring decel than accel but it does happen on both. Now so far ive replaced the inner tie rod as it was sloppy the outers were good. the cv had a small tear in the boot and had sprayed come grease out so it was checked it dosnt have any clunky feeling or much slop or play... new grease was added and re assembled. noise is still there wheel bearings feel fine but thats when they are cold. im baffled by this its something i assume is affected by heat hence why it takes about a half hour to happen... any insight on what to look for is much appreciated, im new to this awd stuff. thanks in advance

sticking caliper or abs maybe kicking in with a sticking caliper, dead shock would be my guesses

i tend to lean towards the dead shock... new coil overs shall be ordered and just to be safe gonna do wheel bearings and hopefully (paycheck permitting) the brakes shall be upgraded to Z32 ones provided i can figure out appropriate mounting for them and hoping they will fit behind my wheels. I figure for best results i should remove all monies from my account and throw it towards the car the end result will hopefully be no more noise, it works that way with my girlfriend so it should be the same with the car?
