Does it happen when turning and accelerating? Could be a broken CV joint.
Is it just happening over bumps? I've read of some other problems with tie-rod ends or something, but can't remember exactly. I've als o read about some clunking noises from some aftermarket shocks, the Monroes specifically.

Sounds like your sway bar/stabilizer links, they're a common wear item on Escapes. Lay on your back and grab hold of one then shake like heck...if you hear a slight pop then the ball joint is worn (it only sits in a nylon socket). My 02 Escape was knocking by 45k miles when going over bumps or sharp slow turns. Moog had some non-OEM ones but I could never find any in stock. The dealership charges about $12 so might as well replace both for $24 in parts. Mine were easy to change but I've heard a few heavy off-roaders that needed the nuts with new ones since they had to strip the old nuts taking them off.
My 05 Escape has a slightly redesigned links (more square than round) but I'm sure it has the non-lube nylon socket. 39k so far and they're okay.
