Why would a 1997 voyager se clunk when coming to stop struts and shocks good?

If the clunk is in the transmission then it may be time to replace in that there is a history of some problems with the electronic transmission. Check the mileage and maintenance history. If it sounds like it is in the front suspension as your inquiry implies, it may simply be that the sway bar bushing and links are dry and/or in need of replacement. You might also check out TSB 23-01-97A (Front end noise upon deceleration) and/or 19-14-97 (Tie rod - popping in front end). Good luck!
