Default Engine/Frame Knock?

I keep hearing a knocking noise erytime I accelerate suddenly. I mean it doesnt do it when I slowly and gradually speed up. It doesnt happen when I revv the engine, ust when I'm in gear(meaning when I'm in neutral an revv up it doesnt knock). It sounds kinda of like a *tock*, I put in the insert bushings on my front and pass. side mounts and changed my bobble strut. so I'm really lost as to wat mite be causing this. I never put in the inserts on the drivers side mount cause it dint look bad and looks hard to get at lol. Anyway I was wondering if anyone has ever gone thru this or know's wat mite be goin on. Also when I changed my bobble strut I ordered one from Mopar an it looks exactly the same as the one that was on there before...so I was jus wonderin if the dealer screwed me over or if I really got the Mopar Bobble Strut.

If you have an ATX, make sure your fluid is filled. It sounds like a transmission problem to me.. take it easy on her

Sorry forgot to mention its MTX. I am takin it easy...I'm not like spinnin my tires or anything.
the only way it wont knock is if I accelerate really slow.

sounds to me like the motor mounts could use checking ive seen them bad enough that the engine would hit the hood under hard accel check the front one and the bobble strut if they are wore out u can get them any parts store i like Oreilly auto parts but thats because i run one!

I have a filled front mount and i put a new stock bobble strut in about 3000 miles ago. I havent had a chance to check the mounts, but thats what i was thinking. it is still doing it tho, with my filled front mount.
