Default Suspension? 1999 Neon

I am getting a clunking out of the front while driving. When I go very slow I don't get it or don't notice it, and when I accellerate it disappears until I let off the gas and then it can get very loud and disturbing. Usually I can find a speed around 55 to 60 where it is virtually unnoticealbe but as soon as I start to slow down, it comes back on strong. Any one have any thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks much for your input.

I would take a look at the struts and strut mounts first.

strut bushings,control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends will quit making noises under acceleration or braking

one time my wheel was clunking after having it worked on and it turned out that they didnt tighten the lugs good enough...scary.
