Have you tried jacking the front end up off the ground and then turning the wheel?

Just thinkin you might be able to get under there, have someone else turn the wheel, and you can maybe see where the clunking is coming from.

I'd check out your upper and lower ball joints, outer tie rod end, and while the car is jacked up, see if there is any play in your wheel bearing.
