This clunk started recently. Any thoughts?

Busted sway bar end link? Don't guess any more: pull those front wheels and take a look. That doesn't sound good at all and anything that loud should be pretty easy to locate with a visual inspection...

Agreed with stab bar drop link. Sounds like the nut on the drop link to stab bar connection is loose and ball joint is wiggling around in the stab. Another area to check would be the strut to strut mount connection.

Any update on this? Mine has developed a similar but less severe sound
