Clunking/Cracking noise fromfront end.

[Fred]

Hey guys i have a 04 Suzuki Aerio and it makes a sort of clunk/cracking noise (hard to describe) whenever i accelerate from a stop and again just before stopping. While the car is running is fine. To me it almost sounds as if the engine is rocking. I have changed all but 1 rear engine mount, as well as the sway bar links. I didnt change the rear mount because it didnt seem to be torn, but it is a flat mount like this:

What do you guys think it could be?

Thanks!

Have someone stand outside the car in a parking lot while you take off and listen from both sides. Dont rule out strut mounts and bearings.
