suspension clunk on acceleration
Recently I started noticing a single "clunk" when I come to a stop and then accelerate. I'm still somewhat new to working on cars but my first thought was brakes, either caliper loose or pads sticking to the rotor. Checked both, not the problem. Any other thoughts? There is no noise when driving or going over bumps, just when stopped and upon acceleration... Thanks for any suggestions!

RE: suspension clunk on acceleration
I replaced the upper motor mount about 2 months ago and it looks good. I just inspected the lower motor mount near the transmission you talk about and it also looks good. One thing I did notice is that the "strut mount looking thing" that the upper motor mount attaches to has some play. There seems to be some type of a rubber bushing on each side of the strut mount. These may be bad. When I push on the strut mount manually, I'm able to get a "clunk" sound. Need to further trouble shoot before I can say that this is the actual problem. I will post the outcome.
