Someone, please help I replaced front and rear struts end links and sway bar bushings in front and complete rear bar with the attached bushings!!! The car is still clunking over bumps.

You might also have to change upper and lower control arm Bushings.

Now just one GL450 with EORP.
If it didn’t clunk before and you’ve replaced the struts - did you do complete struts or reuse the old strut and put a new airbag on?

the airbag retainer nut, if not tightened star tight, will allow some movement of the airbag on the strut and will cause a clunking noise.
