Sounds like typical symptoms of a front end that needs to be overhauled. The clunking may be a bad ball joint or one of the bushings, the cupping is a symptom of bad alignment, out of balance and probably worn shocks.

Get that front end checked and rotate your tires.
Check my sig - I have no clunking in the front at all.
