Clunk on acceleration and braking?

Clunk on acceleration and braking?
I have a 97 Caravan, 3.8, 107K. I have had a lot of front end clunks going on. I did some research and decided to replace the sway bar bushings and end links. This eliminated the noises while going over bumps, however I still have some issues.
I have a clunk coming from the front somewhere. It only happens when accelerating from a stop or when coming to a stop. Motor mounts? Trans problem?

If you get clunking when stopped, shifting from reverse to drive and back, could be a mount or a bad axle joint (in-board)? Find someone you don't like to be near the front of the car to "listen" and see if they can pinpoint the source (mount, exhaust, etc.).
For a bad drive axle joint, park on the level without setting the parking brake. Rocking the van against the locked transmission should help isolate drive axle slop/noise more then the mounts (I think).
