Check to make sure your exhaust isn't resting on the cross member. I had that problem, and it was giving me a really odd vibration and noise that I could feel in my feet.

I agree with inspecting the mounts, also check the bolts from trans to motor. The reason I think control arm bushings is if it happens during turning and acceleration. Granted, that can be the mounts as well. Try shaking the control arms with the vehicle on flat ground, see if there is any play.
