Hi All, my 2000 93 SE with automatic has a clunking sound when I begin to accelerate. It is clearly coming from the left front. It sounds like a metal to metal issue. I have no clicking on tight radius turns going in either direction. It is worst when cold out and when I first start to drive. Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be. I am leaning toward bad drive axle but would like to get more confident before I start replacing parts.

Thanks.
