OK, didn't twig it was an auto. It's probably an A frame bush or balljoint, more likely a balljoint,  get a pry bar and try and move them. You wont see any movement just trying to wobble them when the vehicle is at rest unless they are completely knackered but you should see some movement with the pry bar if they are begining to fail.

Are you sure that it's not just a harsh auto box? If it is the auto box then i wouldn't expect a clunk when you are stopping, it would clunk only when taking up drive.

Just another thought, having not heard your "clunk" i'm thinking that it could be something as simple as loose brake pads, or calliper bolts.

jpc:
the clunk feels like it is coming from under the drivers seat/front wheel its defo not auto box as that has its own clunk. it is hard to explain but if two coils on the front spring were to rub together that is what id expect it to sound like  (new,springs and shocks installed)..it also happens when the car is cornering around small round-a-bouts or sharp corners,i found that out today after installing the shocks and testing them....

i will try both ball joint and a frame bush with a pry bar  

cheers jon

Yeah fairly.I still had some poly bushes left over from when i bought a kit.
I just hacksawed out the bushes then fitted the poly bushes.Obviously remove panhard rod first !! If your fitting standard bushes then i think they will need to be pressed in.
Mine was also loose !
