The track arm can be checked easily. Just jack up the front end and put on jack stands, remove the plastic brake cooler, remove the track arm bolt to the control arm center bushing and swing the track arm forward. You can then check for play. If yours is bad enough to "clunk" you will easily feel it. You can then visually check the center bushing in the control arm. Stick a large screwdriver thru it and move around looking for cracks or tearing. If no play then just bolt back up. no alignment required. You sure the clunk you're hearing isn't just due to play in the steering wheel lock side to side?
