Default "Clonk" still there after replacing enginemounts

So what's next on the list?

Replaced all engine mounts bar the front vacuum/oil one (that was replaced 2 years ago).
So
- right-engine-one (old one looked perfect),
- top one centre (old one had some more play than the new one, didn't replace the left and right ones which attach the crossbar, couldn't find them),
- rear vacuum mount and
- the gearbox-anti-torquing one (which was Hutchinsons as I couldn't find Lemförder in the shop I ordered from, but clearly visible were still the top of the letters "L" and "V" from "VOLVO"in the part where someone had ground some markings away ).

The engine sits higher, the rubber stop between subframe and gearbox had 2mm clearing and now has about 1cm clearing (this was before driving off, so might have gone down a little). There was a distinct difference of about 1cm between the old and the new rear vacuum mount when sitting on the workbench.

All mounting was reasonably uneventful:
Rear engine mount was the hardest: we had a 14mm socket with a 1/8th (not 3/8th) extension and with slightly bending the steeringrod or whatever metal bar is smack in the way, with a tire-fitting-iron, it fit nicely. The bending is just a mm or so, so I consider this more than acceptable.
Getting it out was also a bitch, I suppose people without AWD will have it easier, then again, you Brits might have stuff linked to the steeringwheel rod in the way. I got it out on the right side of the rear-drive-shaft.

Started at 9:30AM, was done at 2:30PM, most of that time, my brother-in-law was helping out (also V70 owner). And by far most time was lost on (1) getting out the darn rear-vacuum mount (what joy this is going to be getting out the turbo, next project...) and (2) making sure I hadn't forgotten to tighten any bolts.

But the "clonk" is still (partially) there. So what's next? The suspension?
Edit: I hear it when accelerating mildly and if I brake hard enough it will do so again with the next acceleration. Might also do it slightly when braking hard enough to achieve said 'reset of the clonk'. It might be left front above the wheel, but that might also be because I somewhat expect it to be the strut somehow.

[offtopic]
I also tried adjusting the steering stops and snapped a bolt. Which idiot insists on putting steel bolts in aluminium?
