Did you check the anti roll bar droplinks?  Thats the vertical bar, about the diameter of a pencil, that connects the suspension upright beneath the spring to, funnily enought, the anti roll bar?  They are a favourite to fail and give a knocking type noise when on their way out.  As they are all 'suspension' type components and, in a round about way are bolted together, will seem like its from the wishbones.

Did you ensure that the wishbone bolts that attach to the subframe are

A) Only tightened up once the car is on the ground

B) Are torqued to the correct valuve (120Nm from memory)

Also, is the clonk only when going over pot holes....
