Can you make it klunk by bouncing the car when parked? If so, then lean down & listen while someone bounces the car. Best thing for noise is to pinpoint the location & that's hard for us to do over the net...

I'd remove the strut, make sure you mark location so you install it back the same exact way - to avoid a wheel alignment. Then you can check control arms for play - that'll give you bushings condition, and ball joints play. I'd visually inspect the top of the strut as well, for signs of wear. Try to find a manual on this forum to get prompts on how to do this.
