Angry 2001 Astro AWD with front end clunk

This problem started about a month ago and is getting worse. When I pull out from a stop and the front end un-weights a little, I get a clunk and a feeling of something loose transfered through the steering wheel. I am also feeling every little ripple in the road under normal driving. The problem is more pronounced if I have the wheels turned hard to the left, or if I have my small trailer hooked up. I replaced a bad idler arm and put on some new shocks - no better. I can't find anything loose or broken under the front end. All steering components are tight, and I can't get any play out of the ball joints when I pry. I pryed on all the "A" arms to check for a bad bushing, they look ok too. Any help would be great!

check your motor mounts. have some one gun the engine and let off while you watch the engine. shouldn't move more than a quater inch movement.
