Not the struts-now what?
OK, you guys have me convinced that it's not the struts that are
defective on our '99 LE.
I drove it from cold last night, and even slight imperfections in the
pavement make it clunk like crazy.
I saw something in here a while back about strut towers, and a defective
part which was once-upon-a-time under warranty and a known problem. What
was it? What parts do I need, and how much are they?
Thanks!

They are called strut towers or mounts. They cost about $70
each. They were redesigned in 2000, there is a TSB on them.
I just had new towers and shocks, mine had clunked slightly
since new, recently was really clunking. Now smooth and
quiet. If you have low mileage just try the shock tower or
towers if it is from both sides and see if that fixes it.

Thank you.
What's involved in the job? Is it a complete teardown of the struts,
including the alignment?

I have a 99XLE with 30k miles, was told clunk and rattle was struts and plates. Are you saying that it could be strut towers or mounts instead?

I had the same problem...it sounded like the noise was coming from the
glove box...I brought it in and it was the strut mount. Apparently there is
a part in there that can go bad. It cost about 100 bucks total to replace
one side. I just noticed the other side is making the same noise, so now
it's that one's turn.
