the source of the clunk is most likely as bruce indicated........the rear most bushing on the front control arm

it ought to be replaced and do both left and right side while you're at it.

the job is actually very easy to do.

1. jack up car and remove wheel
2. unbolt top sway bar link nut
3. unbolt and remove long bolt through the front bushing as it attaches to the crossmember
4. unbolt the 3 ball joint nuts
5. carefully remove the 3 rear control arm cap bolts behind which lies the offending bushing
6 remove arm and do the bushing replacement on your bench

you can buy both rear bushings for under 20 dollars and some of your time to give you a new ride feel

the front bushings never wear out so leave them be
