Take the wheel off. Grab the strut like a baseball bat and push and pull on it. If it moves then the strut needs to be refurbished.

If it's clunking on compression and rebound you very well could have a bad shock insert...

I also noticed you have an aftermarket sway bar with heim joints. Disconnect the bar and go for a drive.

Lateral movement would indicate worn bushing in strut. Up/down movement points at bad insert. If you tightened the shock nut and the movement remains consistent then it's even more likely to be the shock insert.

Hope that helps clarify a bit. It's tough to describe stuff via the Internet...

How old are your shocks?
