clicking noise on acceleration from stop

Not really a clicking sound more of a "clunk" but not very loud at all

This problem recently occured...today actually. The issue only comes when im at a complete stop and then accelerate. doesn't make the noise any other time including when shifting gears, braking, cruising then flooring it. Its got me stumped...

its a 95 GLE, no codes excpet 0325, and the only known issue is 2 blown rear shocks...other than that the car is in good shape with 98k miles.

any ideas?

ive narrowed it down to my ball joints...possibly

could this also be due to bad struts? and a need of allignment?

any help?

alright...i checked the strut mount bearing...good...the inn tie rod...good... im trying to figure out where the sway bar so i can look at the bushing...i did the 3 o clock 9 o clock tire movement thing while it was jacked up and i heard a scraping noise but no clunk....no grease leaking any where im stumped

I started my car put it in drive and had my brother push on the gas while the brake was depressed...it didnt make the clunk everytime but i made the noise when he reved it to 2k ....im thinking engine mounts now...

any help or suggestions?
