    Does turning or accelerating change anything? If your boot has been ripped for awhile your cv could be bad and that will cause a clunk.

      Also, it sounds like the grease has been tossed out of the joint which means it isn't lubricating the joint anymore. If that's the case, the joint will make noise like nomansland said.

        At first I could jus let the clutch out and it wouldn't make a sound however when I gave it gas it would make the sound? Load, like as a drive like was smacking the car, and it would vibrate as well,

          your front driveshaft wasn't lubricated, the splines rusted, then they stripped.
