You can look under the car at the endlinks see if the rubber is torn or shake the sway bar back and forth and see how much play there is its hard to explain how to check them maybe someone else can explain it a little better.

Thank you guys for the help.
I have tried shaking the wheel to see if there's any play but there isn't so I don't believe the wheel bearings are going bad.
How do you tell if the sway bar end links are going bad?
Or do I remove the sway bar and take spirited left turns and if there is no more clunking then I relate the problem to the end links?

Did you do the axle-nut tsb?
If I recall correctly: both axle nuts on the rear need to be removed, splines greased, more grease shoved in, and retorqued to 220 ft-lbs or so?
There's a TSB floating around for it. It may or may not solve your problem though :/

I seem to be getting a very similar clunk. That clunk prompter me to change the axles, that's where I thought the problem was. When I put the new axles on I torqued the axle nuts to 220. I still have the same damn clunk and I don't know what it is.
