I've had wheel bearings fail and they tend to get loud over 40mph. This sound is just momentary with a sudden change in load to the wheels. I even hear it when I shift from Drive into Park in the garage.

The boots on the CV joints tore open back at 80,000 and the boots only were replaced by Mercury. I suspected that I would need CV joints down the road but don't CV joints clunk and get worse in turns?

Resent repairs: front motor mount, VSS on transmission and new front tires at NTB.

The thing that is puzzling is the fact that you hear it when you shift from drive to park, which makes believe it is a cv shaft. Have you checked the cv shafts for an movement by hand and yes the bad shaft I had in the 94 clicked when turning. Could it be the hanger bearing on the passenger side cv shaft?
