Steering rack adjustment
Happened to me it was the rack wearing. It'll cause clunking and also in my case wheel wobble in curves.

I bought a replacement but never had a chance to install; deer killed the car.

My redneck fix was to change the toe enough on both tie rods to have unworn teeth at the center. Pick based on which way you steer less. It's just a punt until you can change the rack.
