Yep you can replace them yourself I did, and they are relatively cheap. Is your car lowered? Bootleg? Then the slamming has taken it's toll on the suspension. They also sell pretty good suspension kits on ebay for steering components. Tie-E, sway link, arms, the whole nine, and decent camber kits

After driving my car for 3 years with this same problem, I recently self-diagnosed my problem and had it fixed.

In my case, the rack ends, or inner tie-rods, were the culprit. It was only happening on the driver-side. After a lot of money spent in the repair shop (rack ends/inner tie-rods are a PITA for DIY I found out) the noise is now gone, and the car feels a lot more solid, no more clunking.
