I had the same thing - a clunk you could feel through the floor, right under the pedals. Mine seemed to happen when the weight slowly came off and then back on the right front corner.
I figured it was the rear spring bushes on the front spring, but when i changed them the old ones looked fine. So I tightened all the chassis mounting bolts while I was under there.
The clunk has gone...... Not sure which fix worked though. Tightening the chassis mounts is easy and free, so perhaps try that?
