Check the bolts that hold the shocks to the lower control arms. You said the the accumulators are new so that means you recently had the shocks out, right? When I replaced my rear shocks, I torqued the bolts to the spec in the WIS and the shocks still rattled when going over bumps. I finally got under there and tightened them 'till they felt "tight +- 10 ft/lb" and the clunking went away.
