Default 08 Jeep Cherokee vibration/clunking issues

Jeep has been driving fine until I went to turn and accelerate. Made a loud noise while I was turning/accelerating that then turned into more of a vibration. I lifted the hood took a quick gander up top and below, nothing hanging or visably noticable. The sound is hard to describe but it's almost as if something broke and is loose now and rubbing or vibrating. More noticable upon turning and/or accelerating. Did notice a clunk when I restarted the Jeep, then nothing. Vibration is present when idleing but otherwise idles fine. Drives fine, no shaking in the steering. Vibration appears to be under foot or close to that proximity. No clue. One minute fine, next minute lots of new noises present.

Just for jollys, check you wheel lugs.

Check your motor mounts. Does it vibrate while sitting still
and/or moving.
