Front End Clunk

Hi y'all! For a while now I've noticed when I go over bumps or dips in the road I'd hear this loud front end clunk from the left side.

I'm not sure what the culprit could be, I thought it was suspension related but it doesn't do this clunk over every bump (in the video it doesn't do it over the first speed bump) and sometimes I could go over the same area and its completely silent. The cold definitely seems to have made it worse too. I could see-saw the car by accelerating and decelerating rapidly and it won't do it, neither does jerking the wheel to the left or the right either.

I did some searching here and someone suggested the front tow hook shifting in the frunk but I took that out and its still doing it. Someone also had suggested a loose headlight but I've tried banging on both of them and they don't budge or make the same sound.

It's an Aug 2021 build LR Model 3 with about 27k miles.

Any thoughts before I deal with lovely Tesla service? Appreciate y'all!

Heres the video:
 
Here’s the update, both front upper control arms were replaced.
