Default clunk noise and squeak noise???

i have a hard clunk noise coming from the rear of my car when i hit hard bumps. it sounds like the rear end smacks the body of my car?? i have all new shocks but my springs are original and i was thinking my springs are weak from the 150 k. i also have a sqeauk noise from the left rear of the car when i hit bumps also. both calipers are new along with the rotors and pads. i also put a new rear end in it because my carrier i was bad, but had the noise before that so it can't be an axle bearing. also installed new trailing arms. i can't think of what else it could be.

I have seen the factory torque arm break apart approx six inches forward of the rear-end. Take a good look at it to make sure that is not your problem. Bob

Did you recently put new Lower contol arms on or remove and retighten up the old ones?

I had like a POP when I would hit a bump after I put my rear end and LCAs it was just the binding of the LCA it worked itself out. Then I had my reclocation brackets welded on and I had the same POP over bumps.... If that was it make sure you don't have them to tight.. The LCA's should be torqued down with the car on all four wheels.

The squeek could be anything or another part to tight.... I had one but it was my jack and nut wrench rubbing.... on the passenger side of the car.

Good luck
