Quick Guide to Diagnosing Differential & Driveline Noises ...

The driver side outer cv joint has worn ,you will find if you put all the weight of the car on the drivers side it will clunk when driven in a circle then try it oppisite lock it shouldnt make that much noise.the bearings have worn in the outer cv joint easy job to replace.
hope this helps.

Check the ball joints,drive shaft first for uneven and excessive wears.

check u-jounts and motor mounts and usually vib during braking is either rotors or hub

I would first check your front half shafts, it seems like they are either worn out or the boots have torn or cracked allowing dirt and moisture to get into the bearings.

clunk noise you hear could be worn cv axle joint. that is if you hear clunk noise on acceleration.

sounds like your wishbone bushes are worn,allowing movment in them when braking.

If you replaced the hub assembly did you make sure to lube your wheel and hub bearings? I would also try to lube that entire side of the car as well. Tie Rod ends can make a squeel as well so just make sure to grease anything in that general area. If it is a clunking noise or a squeeling when you turn it may be your axle shaft installed wrong and those little splines on the end can get rubbed off real fast causing heat and noise problems real fast. If all this checks you may want to look into a possible rack and pinion problem or maybe a steering gear. I would lubricate everything first though. Good Luck!

its probably your sway bar end links, I had the same problem, I replaced both sides and the bushings and no more clunk noise
