Check motor mounts?
Play in the axles?
Control arm bushings torn or worn out?

On my Accord I had a clunk upon acceleration. Both my front and rear mounts were bad so replaced them. The noise didn't go away. Traced it down to the axle. On the right side I had an aftermarket unit and the insides had worn out causing it to clunk upon putting it into drive or reverse and when accelerating.

Yea man, I would lean toward a worn out bushing in the control arm. Check on the ball joints too, you dont want one of those to break loose on the highway.

Exhaust heat shields like to rot out and clank around when the motor shifts around.
