Check the brake pads/calipers as they may have worn pins and allowing for too much slop.

Check your front sway bar bushings. If they are metal to metal, it will produce a pronounced clunk.

Can you buy just the caliper pins or do you need to buy the whole caliper..

IMO check your bushings, ball joints, tie rods

I had the same problem and it was the sway bar. I know it may be something else but start with the simple things and go from there. Good luck

New lower ball joints fixed a similar problem for me. (After checking the condition of the sway bar links & tie rod ends.)
