2004 Evo Front End Clunk!

Getting a clunk from my passanger side front end. I have jacked it up and checked all my joints and bushings. Still cant quite get my finger on top of what it could be.
The Clunk only happens when im coming to a stop and when im starting out, only 1 clunk not multiple times. Me and Dano took it out for a lil drive and still couldnt quite figure it out.
Ive been browsing forums and got a few ideas what to go look for. Lifting the car tomorrow, gonna give it more of a look around and get some photos. Anybody got a clue what it could be or had similiar problems
Thanks

Clunk or sound like the pad is shifting? I've had some sets of pads move 1/4in on stops and starts - causes a metal-to-metal noise.

Check tie rod ends and make sure you strut alignment holes are in-line and upper strut mounts are in good condition.

Mine was clunking when taking off and when I would coast down in gear, single clunk. I got so mad I put it on a lift and took a rubber mallet to try and figure it out....didn't work but I figured out my front mount was loose..ish not like sloppy loose but I got a turn or two on the bolts and no more clunking

Thanks guys for the help
Had a busy birthday weekend and didnt get to look under the car again till today.
Got it on some stands and started the lookover again, checked my calibers and they seemed to fine, but brake pads were low. Gonna order a set of Hawks all around
I noticed my strut tower had grease shot all around it and believe it might be shot. No worries though, looking forward to a set K Sport coilovers though so hopefully i have found it.
DIdnt check my mounts though, spaced that, i think im going to go back out there and check em now, thanks newsotaboy89!

Had a clunk going over bumps and start and stopping.. Rear motor mount bolt(s) was loose.. Only way I found that was my issue by coincidence when I put a solid mount in.

Hope that helps
