It's either something loose or something worn out. I'd start with the shocks then look at the ball joints.

What causes a clunk noise in the front end of your 2005 Saturn Vue?

If the Saturn Vue is anything like the Saturn ION, chances are it's the front sway bar bushings. A design flaw caused them to wear out prematurely. This causes a clunking noise when going over bumps. It is also very possible that it is a front control arm bushing. Start with the sway bar bushings (since they are cheap) then check the control arm bushings.
