i have the same thing, been trying to figure it out. do you have your bump stops cut at all?

Here's a long shot, could it be an endlink on the sway bar?

yea sometimes the swaybar bushing cracks in the middle allowing the swaybar to hit the metal part of the frame

I have the same problem. Really loud CLUNK when I go over train tracks or small bumps while accelerating. Sounds like I just won a free ball on a Pinball game.

Get your car on a rack and inspect all the components. Look for loose parts as you move steering and suspension parts and you will be able to trace it. (Would help to have a friend move the steering from inside while you look) Could be ball joints could be bushings. Both will give you "Clunks" like that.
