I have a large clunking/grinding sound that I can now feel coming from the Drivers Side front end when the vehicle is under power, I have also noticed that the ABS engage at low speeds while slowing down.

First check for bearing wheel going bad (check for loose in the wheel when vehicule is jacked)
Second, front break pads are at the end of their life and are rubbing metal on metal
Third check for seised brake caliper (unlikely)
Hope it will help

There is a clunking and grinding on drivers side front end

Possibly tie rods or CV axle going bad. I only know that from previous experience with a similar problem, so you'd have to have it checked by a mechanic.

Resolving a clunking in front end of a ford tarus 2002 a consistant clunking over bumps. sounds like the front end is going to come apart.

Lower control arm bushings and lower ball joints can cause a noise like this. But I have fixed a few that sounded like the front end was falling offf. It turned out to be the air conditioning plenum under the dash. There is a tube that comes loose some how. this tube stretches all the way across the dash. you can see part of it under the drivers side, it disappears in the center. I take a piece of thick foam and wedge it under the tube towards the center column. Most times this gets rid of the noise or most of it. No one wanted to pay to take apart the dash to fix the passenger side.
