OK, that clunking sound sounds like you have a bad stut, similar to front shocks but not. The strut replaced the old type upper ball joints and it is part of your suspension. Costs roughly $200 parts and labor give or take $50 plus an alignment.
The O2 sensor you are talking about is located in the exhaust manifold and they are offered in 1 or 2 wire connections . You wont know which you have until you locate the O2 sensor 1st.
Sounds like a money pit to me. Might be a good time to start weighing the idea of a replacement vehicle.
Sorry and good luck

For the clunking noise you probably have a broken spring or strut or the bushings on the control arm are gone! This noise can also be caused if the ball joints are gone! Have it checked out! For the O2 sensor One is on the manifold and the other one is just before the cat!! Good luck!!

sounds like you do have some issues. That clunking could be your sway bar bushings...just take a look under and you will see if they are worn or even gone...that's what it sounds like to me. The other issue...sensor...not enough information on that one.

The noise is likely a strut.As far as the sensor I'm clueless as well.

1. most likely a hub and bearing that is going out. pretty common
2. you talking about an o2 sensor. if so, theres more than one on car so you have to figure out which one it is

Did you flush the radiator you put in and is their any oil or milky fluid in the radiator if so it can be a blown head gasket or if it is fantastic than i could verify the CATALYTIC CONVERTER could be scuffling with up have you ever observed means loss at that element while it overheats. good success!!!
