I had that happen, I checked out the U joints and they were all fine. It turned out that my lug nuts were just loose, check them first.

When did it start? Was it gradual in coming or sudden? Does it do it all the time or just in hard acceleration? You checked the lug nuts but did you crawl under the car and check the u-joints?

Its all a process of elimination, check the u-joints first, if they are loose, broken or bent, tighten or replace them. If they are all tight, chances are its the rear end. Then again, if you have driven it for a while and its been clunking the whole time chances are good that if it was the rear end you would have had much bigger problems than just clunking. Put it up on jack stands and crawl under there. Check the u-joints and watch for any other problems while your at it.

I had a rear wheel bearing that went "Whump, Whump, Whump." It got louder and faster as the cars speed increased... Over time, the sound got louder.

That's easy enough to check, just run your hand along the tread. If you feel a lump, you've found your culprit.
