I have a 1994 ST-205 GT4 and I'm getting a clunking sound from the front driver side only. It happens when I am at a complete stop and starting to drive in 1st gear. I also notice that it clunks from a complete stop when im going into reverse out of my parking spot and again when driving away in 1st. All other other gears are ok. The clunk feels like its coming from below my pedals. I searched forums and so for I replaced what everyone suggested.

super strut
Lower suspension arm
Fig 8 link
Banana bar
Uprated crush tube (jsp)
Hub top ball joint
Track Rod End

This is killing my wallet!!!! That is almost all the components except the endlinks and front sway bar bushings. I still get this clunking!!! GRRRRRRRRR..
What else can cause this first gear clunk? Please help its driving me nuts!!!!!

Any recommendations?
