I have had serious trouble finding the source of the clanking noise in the front, Question is would this cause clanking and noise? Also, Does this look bad enough to causethe noise?

The other pic is the one checker shows for the car why does it not look like the right one?

I only see one picture, but your front mount is gone. Time to replace with an OEM one or get some solid replacements. That mount is so far gone I'm not sure if an insert could even help it.
 
Yes, your destroyed front roll stop can cause that noise. The picture you linked is the transmission mount over the top of the transmission. You could either find a new roll stop at a junkyard/dealership or go with a solid one. I think there is someone in the freelancer section of the classifieds who makes an insert to replace the rubber.

This is who I was thinking of.

There's your answer!
 
Ahh k so that is a roll stop, Actually my local checker auto has it same part number too.
 
The one you pictured above looks to be the correct part. I would consider doing the solid roll stops, they really help traction for a fwd and it looks like the failed one on your car was already aftermarket, and looks fairly new at that. But, on the opposite end if you don't like a the added vibrations from solid mounts you may just want the stock replacements.
 
Seriously, that thing is so bad I'd keep it as a paper weight. Clean it up and save it for memory, LOL.

That being said, the 'shell' of the mount looks new, so I would consider doing the solid mounts that JayB12 linked to. More expensive than a mount replacement, but you should never have problems with your mounts again, AND you'll have the benefits he mentioned as well.
