Re: 98 TJ clunk at acceleration
 

Could be one of the bushings in your control arms. Put the jeep on a flat
surface in 4lo and first gear. With the engine off lay under the vehicle
and have a friend or two rock the jeep forward and back. Look at all the
rubber bushings in the control arms...there should be little to no movement
in the bushing from this small amount of force. Also check the track bars
for movement while your down there.
