only a clunk? I have a vibrating noise that can hear more than feel but it goes away on a hard turn.

That might be more a driveshaft or motor/tranny mount problem.

Hmm, the previous owner did say that it could use some new motor mounts

My friend's FC's Diff Mount was totally shot. It would BANG really badly into the car when going on/off the throttle. Scared the **** out of me almost every time.
