The clunk I've had a bad clunking noise comming from my rear passenger area for some time. It's heard on bumps...and VERY noticable going over a rock road that has minor imperfections. Exhaust is not rubbing, made same noise before and after installation of control arms. Any ideas?

Mines been doing it also. Sometimes over little bumps and then it wont over huge bumps, which makes me think it isnt chassis flex. I just put BMR LCA's on it a few weeks ago that I had and it didnt help. Guess I have more things to check now also.
LCA bushings
Adj Panhard
Lowering Springs
KYB AGX shocks
New sway bar & Bushings
Poly TQ arm bushing
Dana S60 rear
new rotors & pads
new drive shaft & U joints
and asfter replacing all that the rattle is still the same it was when i bought the car

Check your door hinges. Check your driver's door first. Open the door all the way, and lift up on the rear of the door. if there's any wear you'll be alble to tell. The door will move up before the car lifts with it.
My PHB bolt comes loose a bunch. Like, a lot. Not even that much, it's like half a thread, just enough to **** me off, lol. This next time I'm going to locktite that sonofabish... Makes the whole car feel ghetto, lol.
Violently shake the PHB on both ends (one at a time) and see if it makes any noise at all. Tighten it and hopefully that's it.
Also, possibly check the spare tire well?

I had the same sound coming from the driver rear. I replaced my whole suspension and it fixed it. But.... It's coming back. Sometimes it's the hatch that comes loose, but It did go away the first time after replacing the rear suspension. Tighten and torque all bolts, and lube the poly bushings too.
