Clunk at front left wheel, failed strut?

Just noticed recently my 97 left front wheel area is making occasional significant 'clunk' noise. I could replicate it in a right curving highway ramp by alternately accelerating slightly in 3rd gear then removing foot from gas and getting the clunk noise. I believe the balljoint is in good shape (though I need to check), other than that maybe a failed strut? Car has 150k miles with orig struts. Other possibilities......CV joint has not been exposed to a torn boot so should be good, wheel bearing I would think would whine and it isn't. Maybe a differential issue assoc with loading and unloading power to wheels?
Probab strut?
