Generally a clunk in the front suspension is from front strut bearings that
have not been torqued to the correct spec (the nut is too loose on the strut
shaft). On the VR6 bearings it would be because the shouldered nut that holds
down the spring hat was too loose. On the other front bearings, I guess it
would be the slotted nut that was too loose.

Damn... mine does the exact same thing. As everyone else who has
chimed in, I too have new strut bearings (VR6). I will be pissed
if it is caused from my strut bearings.

You could also have fucked up upper strut bearings too. They will go up
and down and make a CLUNK when you back up, hit the brakes, shift to 1st
and go, they will go CLUNK when pulling into and out of driveways too.
YMMV.
