Could also be ball joints. Jack one side up at a time, using the control arm as the jacking point, you want it as close as possible to the ball joints, jack it up just far enough to get a bar under the tire. lift up on the bar and have someone watch the ball joints, there should be minimal plunge action. Im sure there is a spec for it but..... While still in the air, grab the wheel at the top and bottom. Wiggle it and watch for worn ball joints as well. Then try wiggling it by holding the wheel from either side, this will test if you have play in your tie rods/steering/wheel bearings. IF you feel play, watch and see if the rotor moves while you wiggle it, if it does, its bearings, if not its prob a tie rod. Also check the obvious, broken spring could make a clunk too.
