Thumbs down Suspension Noises

Hi everyone, I have an annoying problem. I have a 1990 Lx 5.0. Sometimes, if I accelerate hard for a quick second, I hear a knock in my suspension. It also happens sometimes when I shift from first to second or second to third - when I put the clutch in. There are two different knocks that I hear: The first is when I am accelerating and the second is when the car is slowing down but in gear still. For instance, if I am in first and gas it, I will hear and sometimes feel something moving. At 3000 rpm, if I take my foot off the gas, the engine slows the car down (of course) but I hear a little different sound, like the first was stress being put on (or off) the suspension and the second was it moving back. I already checked the tranny and motor mounts and shocks. I also changed some of the bushings that looked bad and made sure the k-frame bolts were tight, but I still have the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am at a loss of what to do now.


Thanks in advance,

Josh
