'00 Aero - noise from a stop or shifting

Hi,
I've been trying to track down the source of a click or thunk from what sounds like the RH front area for quite a while. Its a 5sp aero w/ about 72k on it. Leaving a light normally, its just a click more or less from the RH front, and it'll do it again on a 1-2 or 2-3 shift if you're accelerating at a decent rate. On the shift, its right when you shift and the engine gets unloaded. Leaving a stop a little more agressively, its more of a clunk than a click. It doesn't seem to do this if you're moving in 1st and then just floor it.
Anyway, I've tried rolling down the windows and doing tight turns in the parking lots. The CV boots look fine, and I don't get any clicking driving around in circles. The only thing I've noticed in the CV/intermediate shaft area is that if I take a prybar, I can "click" the RH inner CV up/down a bit where it goes into the end of the intermediate shaft. I didn't expect any movement there. Its not much, but I can see/hear it move (maybe 0.020" of up/down travel if I had to guess). That didn't seem significant enough to me to be causing this though.
I started looking at the motor mounts last weekend, and there's a LOT of travel on the RH side mount. I was playing around with it w/ the E brake on the other day...

Is it supposed to move that much?
Thanks,
Jeff
