CV joint problems usually manifest during acceleration out of stoplight/sign turns. If one goes I'd replace both or all.

Topless mighta nailed it with from motor mount. Check PedrosGarage.com for improved mount and repair procedure.

I had the similar clunking noise in my 2001 boxster s rear driver side and then it progressed into what sounded like a tank going down the road. ended up being the wheel bearrings. They are cheap to buy on pelican parts , but not an easy task to change. unless you have access to a hydraulic press you will have to take them to a shop to change them out. hope this helps

When the rear trailing arm bushings wear out, the rear end makes a clunk going over bumps. It's a fairly common weak point in these cars.
