clunk when accellerating

I hear a clunk when accelerating and it feels like something may be loose on the passenger side wheel. Is it possible I have a problem with the CV joint and/or cv boot. Is this easily self replaceable or do i have to go to a mechanic. I've already replaced front and rear brakes.

Car is a 99 acura cl 3.0 automatic

hmmm, i know that when cv boot needs replacing when its clicking when you are turning. best thing is to jack up the car and take pics of it then post it on here to see if we see anything.

is it when hard acceleration or just regular acceleration? if its hard acceleration it could be a motor mount but really could be allot of things so best bet would be to follow the advice given and post some pictures and see if anyone spots anything that looks out of the ordinary

If I have this picked out I think it is the tie rod on the passenger wheel. It is loose on the end away from the wheel.
