Re: Clunking sound from right front wheel area.
Did you get an alignment? Did they tighten the tie rod ends?
You need to put the car on jack stands, take the wheels off and proceed to check each and every bolt and bushing on both sides.
Fortunately, 5th gens are simple and this shouldn't take more than an hour for each side, including breaks for refreshments.

Re: Clunking sound from right front wheel area.
sway bar endlinks.....does it get worse going over bumps or stay the same no matter what the road surface. could be control arms bushings, ball joint. Jack the car up from the pinch weld, get the wheel off the ground, shake the wheel side to side and top to bottom. (hands at 3 and 9 then hands at 12 and 6) if you feel anything loose get someone to shake it while you look for any unusual movement.
