Greg,
First I would check your engine mounts. You should be able to visually
inspect these. Otherwise, just pop the hood and rev the engine and check to
see it there is excessive movement in the engine. Then I would check your
transmission mount. I had a cluck for 6+ months, and couldnt find where it
was coming from. It turned out to be a broken tranny mount, which I replaced
for $45 and it only took an hour. I would hear this clunk upon accelerating
from a stop, or even when the tranny changed gears. You though that you are
experiencing this clunk also when your turn? Hmmm, I dont think I ever did,
only when turning and then accelerating would I hear the noise. The clunking
noise could also be from loose or worn out ujoint in the driveshaft(s), worn
splines causing or slipping sleeve yoke(s) in the driveline. Hope this
helps.
