Is it a single clunk? Or repetitive noise?

I had a clunk that I couldn't figure out. Typically back out of my driveway and turning the wheel. I eventually went through all of my suspension mount mounts with a torque wrench. Nothing was "loose" but the noise went away. You might start with the sway bar end links.

2000 would be the early end links if they were never replaced.

I would re torque all of the suspension points (upper and lower A-arms) and cradle bolts.
