The simple answer is I dont know. I know I change alot of them on other cars I fix so I exept they are no better. You will have to get it on a lift and check were the free play is causing the clunk.
Guess you found the issue anyway as it  was the subframe bolts.

They are only prone to fail if they have too much stress on them, either ARB's or ultra stiff / low suspension.

PS: are you on air?

could be giving them lots of stress when you air out to park? as the bushings add resistance to the ARB when pushing it?
