Default clunking 1999 xlt explorer

I have a 99 Limited, it has been in the shop 5 or 6 times for a clunking in
the front end (since around 35,000 Miles 85,000 now) . It almost sounds
like an exhaust pipe noise, but they have been unable to locate & fix it.
They have replace ball joints, tie rod ends and other front end parts, to no
avail. I have replaced the shocks, and the last time in they suggested I do
it again. I will just live with the noise until something falls off.
