You're spot in - track arms in the rear, drop li ks up front. Although control arms can go clunk too. Stl is right - check sway bars and bushings. Struts too if it feels like there's a lot of play in the picture, mine in has 47k but my struts were so far gone that even the bump stops had disintegrated.

Getting ready to do my rear trailing arms. Going to check that strut pinch bolt as well.

Wondering though - just which end of the trailing arm is causing the clunk?

Just to add a data point here, I think I have the same "clunk" that OP described. Mine happens at low speeds on bumpy driveways/uneven roads. In researching the cause before, the rear trailing arms seemed to be the culprit. It never annoyed me enough to fix it though....

I am not sure which side would cause the noise on the trailing arm, but I'm sure its from one of the bushings thats built into the arm.
