I'm not sure, but there were no clunks at all from my wife's car and the balljoint was very close to catastrophic failure, so who knows?
The problem is when you jack the car up you of course change the suspension geometry. Do you have ramps you can put it on instead and take a look then? I use a long breaker bar (2ft +) to check for movement on balljoints, tie-rod ends etc. - anything less probably won't show anything.
One of my most difficult to find clunks turned out to be the inner tie-rod - only happened once on several hundred thousand miles of Saab 9k driving so not a common problem, but might be worth a look.
