Default Big clunks over bumps

When going over bumps even small ones in roads front and back suspension make fairly loud clunks. Does it at all speeds. Whats first thing I need to look at for solving this noise. Car is 99 z28 with 65k.

do you have SFC on your car? If so its a good chance its the tranny mount. This has happen to me 2 times already both were the tranny mount. Easy to check as well.

What he said. When I got my TA I had the same thing. So I got back there to see what was the problem and it was the spare tire rattling around
