Bumps just dont feel right

Hey all i have this sound and feeling in the front of my 4runner most noticeable over speedbumps. Ive had it most of the time ive owned it and have replaced close to all of the front chassis parts but its still there,it sounds likethe wheel smacking on the hub but i checked the wheel and its tight, could my hub nut not be tight enough?

Have you replaced your lower ball joints? I recently had a strange looseness in the front and that turned out to be the problem.

Time for new trans mounts?

Ive got the auto a340 and its shaken ever since i got it, ive done the third member, both ujoints in rear prop shaft and it still vibrates so i went and checked my trans mounts and they look pretty tired. is a bad trans mount only noticeable on decelleration? Or can it be noticed in accelertion as well? It only used to vibrate under decelleration but its started to vibrate almost all the time. Ive heard you are able to tell if engine mounts are bad by vibration on acceleration and by watching the engine shift while not moving is this correct? Here are a couple pics, first one is the trans mount taking all the weight and the second one is after i lifted the trans up an inch or two
