Check to make sure that your axle nuts are tight. If they are slightly loose, you will hear a single clunk when you pull out. You can make this sound occur if you switch from forward to reverse.

sounds like you need new alxes, look for tears and a bunch of sticky grease all over the inside of your wheel wells and/or the rims

Is it possible that when you lowered the car, the bump stops and "washers" weren't put in properly? The clunk is the top of the strut/shock in the engine bay shifting around. It's like it's not seated properly. Happened on my old suspension because we didn't put the metal washer (whatever taht's called) in properly.
