I recently had a clunking noise in my 1991 9Kt with 100,000 miles. My ball joints were worn along with the rear bushings for the control arm to which the ball joints are attached. Wear in both of these components seems to be common among these cars, at least from what I have read here and from my particular car. There are front bushings on the lower control arms, but mine were not worn. I have had other cars (primarily vw's)with upper strut mounts gone bad, and the sound seems to be far less heavy than the clunks that come from the ball joints and bushings. More of a rattle than a clunk
If you were to purchase balljoints and replace the rear bushings, you'll notice a big difference in the way your car drives, at least I did. Good lick.
