Default Front end noise(clunking)

My 1996 Ranger has had a slight clunk in the front end for a while and it seems to have gotten worse now that it is colder outside. A ford tech from this website said that it might be the link pins on the sway bar. Anyone have any ideas? Could it be the shock tower? I have no idea. I changed the radius arm bushings, ball joints and front shocks in January of 06' so it probably isn't those, but any ideas??? If it is the link pins, are these expensive or hard to change? Thanx

Link pins make sense, but should also check all tie rod ends, they can clunk as well
