I concur with the CV joint or other drivetrain issue. A motormount =
usually clunks once on acceleration and then once on deceleration.

However being a FWD car, there are forces of drivetrain and wheel =
alignment that co-exist. So it could be a loose alignment item that only =

Does it happen at 50mph in reverse? :-)
