There is a knocking noise when accelerating and braking, will this be the engine rubber mounts??

Need more info tbh as there's a multitude of things it could be, ranging from engine mounts, suspension rubbers, wishbones, ball joints, subframe bush or even the exhaust

Main engine mount, dogbone mount under the car, most likely suspects.

Could be a CV joint on your driveshaft

i had a squeak/knock on acceleration and braking.. turned out to be wishbones bushes.... there's another possibility... lol. Can u 'Feel' where the knock is coming from? maybe u can tell if its to a side?

Had the same thing with my RT. Turned out to be the bottom ball joint 2 studs that fix to the wishbone. When the car was jacked its hard to see any play.

Jack the car, lock the front brakes and use a large wrench or breaker bar to look for signs of any play.
