Please help! New clunk, new place.

I got a TSB done on my clunk about a year ago. The old clunk felt like the car was hit from behind at a low speed collision (I have the experience). But now the car has developed a different type of clunk. Now it feels like something is hitting me from directly below my feet. I can actually feel the vibration right between the sit and pedals. What gives now? Is it the same thing, anything to worry about?

Thanks

No, I don't have steering shake or anything other than it feels like I get a hit from under the car. This feels more like a 2-3 very rapid short shakes (with in 1/2 second) coming from under the floor board. I guess its not really a continious shake.

Ok what you check is there is Front Drive Shaft,( not the Rear Drive Shaft ) Do a visual inspection. This is Short one. Check on the Spider Bearing, Universal Yoke and U joints, try getting it greased .There are two Grease point which you could have them greased with Moly grease.
