The 95 Accent has a rear stabilizer bar; it looks kind of like this:

I'm not real familiar with it, but I think maybe the "cups" are rubber and could be worn away. Additionally, and it's not shown very well on the pic, if you follow the bar past the strut, you can see a bracket holding the bar to the body of the car. There is a rubber bushing between the bracket and the bar; that is the most likely culprit for a rear end thunk. If you jack up your car, you should be able to inspect it. As long as the rear wheels are in the same state (either weight on both wheels or both wheels up in the air), the bar is not sprung and you can work on it safely. If you jack it up, though, make sure you use good jack stands.
As far as the poor performance and driveability issues, I bet it's one of the sensors if it's not the plugs or wires. I think there is a Camshaft Position Sensor, Crankshaft Position Sensor, Throttle Position Sensor, as well as Transmission and Vehicle Speed Sensors. If one of them is reading off but not too far, it could cause the rest of the system to try to adjust to the bad value and the car could run like he||. My mechanic told me when a car doesn't start for no apparent reason, he starts with the Crankshaft Position Sensor. But that's just a guess. I would suggest you get familiar with Hyundai's online manuals. It's free, and once you get used to them they aren't too bad to navigate around in. I wrote a guide to get started: http://www.dfwhyundais.com/diy/DIY-WebTechGuide.html
After getting your login and password, go into Service Information, then enter your car's information, then look in both the ETM (schematics) and the SHOP sections, under Fuel System > MFI Control System. It should help you troubleshoot your symptoms.
