My right rear used to clunk when i first got the car. I found out that when the king springs were put in, some guy had cross threaded the main nut on the shock shaft when putting it all back in. I pushed up and down on the back of the car a few times, leaned into the open boot, and looked at the top to the shock. There was about 5mm travel in the right shock shaft, which was causing the clunking noise.

So had to remove the shock, re-tap the thread on the shaft, and put it all back in. Ive never had a problem since.

I had a noise like that. Check all your allingment bolts . maybe one of them is loose.
also check your sway bar. if the bushes are worn. this could be it too.


basically go over the rear end thouroughly to find a loose bolt somewhere.

I had one of those clunks for a few months. The allingment bolt was loose.

you know the rear one where they adjust the camber.
