As the title suggests i have a clunking noise in my car that just started today. It only happens when im accelerating gently i think. You can feel it through the floor too. I can't really see what it is but it sure doesn't sound good. Anyone have any ideas? Its an st162 with a 3sgte in it.
Cheers.

I've checked out my exhaust bracket and it seems pretty stable. The CV joints are pretty damn new so i don't think it's them. I'm leaning towards engine mounts at the moment. The front one seems to be hollow thru the top of the mount. Is this normal? The hole in it seems smooth like its suppose to be there, but i thought it would be solid.
Other than that i reckon it's somewhere between the gearbox and the wheels.... but i dunno
