Default its time for an another episode of Name That Noise!!

alright contestants, get your thinking caps on beacause this one is a stumpper
(ive always wanted to be a game show host)

anyways, as of recently the back section of the car makes a clunk, AND THERES NOTHING LOOSE

the noise is only there over some decent sized bumps in the road and most noticable at low speeds, sounds almost like shaking a box of shoes

after doing some searching im going to check out the LCAs tomarrow, but if that doesnt fix it im open to all suggestions, ive been fighting this for 2 weeks now and im all out of ideas

just to let you know, wheels are tight, pinion is tight, the exhaust is sitting very close to the frame (but that would make more of a metalic clank, right?), u-joints are good, swapbar endlinks are new (going to double check how tight they are), rear calipers seem loose to me but the bolts are tight, torque arm bushing looked shity but theres no play in it, stock shocks with 61K miles on them

Mine makes the same noise. Mine is passenger rear side. I have been told it might be the LCA's, as the bushings might be worn out. I have 66k on mine.
