Default 02 civic lx suspension question

i just picked up an 02 civic lx and it came lowered like an inch when i bought it. The kid said that it needed an alignment done because it pulled to one side so i figured that ide have one done and it would be fine but after driving it a few days i noticed that it doesn't just pull to the right but also sometimes to the left
and clunks while turning both ways. I had an alignment done and it really didn't do much it helped a little bit. any input on what the problem may be.

could you record a video so we can hear the sound? and does it ride bad? is it really bouncy when you hit a little bump?
