Clunking noise under driver seat area when braking or accelerating

Just as the title says I've just recently started experiencing a clunking noise as I accelerate or brake seems to be coming from under my driver seat or just behind it in that area if anyone has any ideas or thoughts that could help me pinpoint it it would be awesome

Welcome to the forum.

I'd start with checking the transmission and engine mounts. Take a look at those and report back, and we can go from there.

Also check your U joints while you're under there. It just takes a few seconds.

Checked u-joints and motor and tranny mounts all good It seems to be coming more from my left rear I was told by someone that it could possibly be movement in the rear drums is that possible

Check your left side control arm bushings.

Also leaf spring bushings. Brake drums? Meh...
