8th Gen, 2018 Maxima Rattle over small bumps front Drivers Side, feel in gas pedal

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I have a 2018 Maxima SV with just over 50,000 miles.

When driving over small bumps at low speeds, I hear and feel a small clunk from somewhere on the front drivers side. Oddly, I also feel this in the gas pedal. An example of when this happens would be when driving under 10 Mph, over hard packed snow on a road. Oddly, I also feel the 'clunk' in the gas pedal. Note that I'm usually not pressing the gas pedal down when I feel this. Typically I'm pulling into my driveway so am applying very little, or no pressure to the pedal.

I haven't noticed this at higher speeds, although that could simply be road noise masking the noise.

I've visually taken a look but nothing is obvious to my eye.

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Check the motor mounts 1st. Then the front spring shock assemblies
