1994 5.2 Grand Cherokee clunking from left front.

I been having a issue with a clunking coming from the left front floor board area.

It happens when taking off from stops and when letting off the gas to put on the brakes. Kinda pulls to the left on semi hard braking.
Doesnt clunk on bumps but sometime if im turning going slow.?

Left mount?
Contol arms?
Trans mount?


What i have looked at/ checked so far. Wheel bearings and i looked and the ball joint and the control are bushings and cant see anything.

Whats your guys input on this?

i'm thinking control arm bushing. probably upper, but possible lower. the brake dive could be caused by this.

but i could definitely be the trans mount. ive heard of that causing a similar problem. you can visially inspect that in 2 seconds.

The trans mount doesnt seem to be bad. I was just under there replacing the dip stick o ring.

How should i check the control arms?

My brake caliper pad mount surface gets a groove worn into it. Makes a clunk sound sometimes after brake release.
