Hi LORIEM558,

Thank you for the donation.

Normally bad mounts would not clunk very loud unless it is completely worn off or not properly tightened. It would make driving very uncomfortable with all the vibrations.

I would suspect the following,
1. CV shaft inner joint joints.
2. Steering linkages,
3. Lower arm bushes.
4. Exhaust mounts.
