Default Help me Diagnose Rear End noises

So I have an SS with 100k miles. My shocks were stocks and were shot.
I decided to get Konis and Stranos because I needed them but I also thought they were going to fix my rear end noises.

When I go over bumps, the impact noise is just too loud. So I thought it was because the worn out stock shocks. But even after the Konis, I still hear loud Clunk noises when going over bumps. Also, when turning, you can hear noises like marbles by the wheels. They dont seem to come from the center or the rear end but more from the sides.

What do you guys think ?

I would say your seals on your rear suspention. Mine does the same thing, only I have a drag racing suspention. So I get no give over bumps and man does it make you think twice about buying the racing suspention.

ss dna, axle or pinion bearings usually make noises on acceleration or release of gas pedal, cornering I'd guess axle, the cheaper fix, hope it helps, kometkid
