Front end Clunking

I have been having some clunking from the front end of the car that I can't seem to track down. When I go from slowing down, to getting back on the throttle, (and vise-versa) there is a definite clunk. I have replaced all control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links in hopes to remedy this, but haven't had any luck. I'm thinking the only thing left is transmission mounts? Does that sound reasonable as the next thing to try, or maybe I overlooked something? Thanks for any insight!

Could also check strut mounts, but if it's throttle-related like that I would have checked engine/trans mounts first. The engine torque shouldn't stress the sway bar, and doesn't stress the suspension as much as going over bumps, etc.

I'm having the same issue but it's when I'm on the brakes... nothing when I apply, but a small clunk/shift when I release the brakes.

My car has been stored for the past couple of months over winter and while I'm at school, but I just ordered the ZZP front and rear trans mounts. Mine were pretty weathered looking, I'll check back in after I get them installed...
