Re: Front end "Clunk"
Using a floor jack jack it up as close to the wheel as possible and check for play.You may have the bushings going out in the upper/lower a arm.Or you could have someone drive it real slow and hit the brakes and see if something is moving that shouldnt.

Re: Front end "Clunk"
I had an issue almost identical to this and it turned out to be the upper control arm. The nuts that hold the shims in place became loose and allowed the arm to move when I hit the brakes/went over bumps.

Re: Front end "Clunk"
Basically check...everything. Years ago I had some funny noises, ie. "clunk" sounds when turning and going over bumps. It turned out to be a loose frame X-member. Those noises can scare the bejeezuz out of you when you start imagining the worst case scenarios.
