When I come to a stop then accelerate I hear a clunk which sounds like it's coming from the drivers side front. I've changed the wheel bearings, sway bar bushings, upper control arms, upper and lower ball joints. There doesn't appear to be excessive play in the lower control arm bushings. There is some movement when the steering wheel is turned from left to right. How much movement is to much? What else could it be?

I had the same problem and chased it for a couple of years. I also did pretty much everything you did searching for the source of the clunk. It turned out to be the end links on the anti-sway bar. Each end-link actually has a ball joint and they go bad.
