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

most likly your upper ball joints

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

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.
