Have you checked the upper strut mount? I had a similar problem a few years ago, but it was only happening when I let off the gas quick in first or second gear.
I had just put in the new springs and struts, so I took everything out and rechecked it.
Nothing was apparently loose, but once I put it back together again, the noise was gone.
I was also told at the time that if the mount was too worn, it could make that clunk.

could be the strut bearing assemblies. could also be the front sway bar bushings

Ya know....the biggest cause of noises in the front of the vehicle suspension in my experience has been the control arms....just check those out along with the sub-frame bolts for tightness....you might be surprised.

Just go over it all. I am gonna just go with by what your telling us either a bad ball joint or strut mount. when was the last time someone greased the joints under your car? might wanna do that as well.
