Your front end sounds like it may be worn out. My brother just dropped 600 at midas for all new bushings on a 2 wheel drive.

Check the mounting points of the front shocks.

The sway bar endlinks made a horrible clunking noise on my 04. I could even feel it in the floor! Also check the other areas mentioned above. Good Luck!
