Check your doors. I had a very strange clunking noise that occurred when I would start from a dead stop, when i was braking, accelerating, etc. I replaced the ball joints before the door was suggested to me. (thanks to VTmax)

Try driving a little with a door ajar, and see if you can pinpoint a possible door that is misaligned. I moved the piece that the door latches onto in the door jam and the noise is gone. It never would have occured to me either- i was ready to start fixing motor mounts, etc. Maybe its not your problem, but its a simple fix worth checking. Good luck
