I had a similar "Clunk" and it turned out to be some disintegrated bolts.

Lifted the car and inspected all suspension components visually look to be in good shape.

I just replaced my tie rods which started to clunk in the same scenario.

I suspect it's the front struts since I replaced the upper & lower control arms, tie rods, etc.

I usually ran my tire pressure on the high side - this year I'm running them a little lower.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I’m trying to diagnose a clunk that I hear when pulling off after being parked. I also hear it pulling out of driveway if theres a large dip. Sounds like its in the front drivers side. Lifted the car and inspected all suspension components visually look to be in good shape.
any advice?
Be sure to check all rubber points, but how many miles does the car have? Front struts creek as they get up there in milage. I'm having the same issue and mine has 115K. I suspect it's the front struts since I replaced the upper & lower control arms, tie rods, etc.
2003, less than 50000 miles (78000 kms). I have a clunk. Seemingly when the car has been driven 30 minutes - changed drop links. Made no difference.
I will refresh the suspension at some point in the near future. Frustrating issue.
I usually ran my tire pressure on the high side - this year I'm running them a little lower. Has highly reduced the clunk noise.
might as well have a shop look to see whats wrong. Just throwing parts at the issue is not for me, that would drive me crazy. Hopefully you can find the issue asap as it might bring on other problems if not addressed correctly
I have not swapped links as they look to be in really good shape. they might be deceiving me though. They don't have any play at all no cracks or rubber tears
Check the exhaust system. I had a similar "Clunk" and it turned out to be some disintegrated bolts. Not sure which ones as I brought the car to a muffler shop.
i found the issue to be a torn cv axle boot. I will replace the whole axle. Now to figure out which aftermarket company makes the best ones thats on par with oem quality
