Hello.
Their's lots of things that can cause a Clunck.
I had a Similar Clunking noise to my Car. I first replaced the Sway Bar Bushings as they were pretty bad. It did not fix the problem. Also replaced the Fron Control Arm Bushing, no change.
I then replaced the Sub Frame Mount Bushings and Stiffen the Motor Mounts using some Sealant (Similar to using the Window Urethane). Retorqued everything to specs. Clunk was gone.
Start by looking at your Front Control Arm, SubFrame Bolts and Engine Mounts for any looseness or damage. Sway Bar can also cause a Clunk but was not the cause of my problem.
Hope this helps.
Ghislain.
Rouge!!!

I'm having the same problem with my car, '92 Laser Awd. I have narrowed it down to sub frame bushings as all the rest are new within the last year and the sub frame bushings look to be in bad shape and should be replaced even if thats not the problem.

Ya I have a front end clunk too, it comes from the left front and only happens with a forward or backward transfer of weight, ie, acceleration or deceleration. Its annoying, but I haven't looked into cause i can't afford to fix anything now.

I just had my clunk fixed. all I replaced was the sway bar end links, $25 each. Mine would only clunk if you floored it from a dead stop or if I hit a pot hole, or sewer cover etc.
