Default Clunk from left rear of car

When I go over bumps, the left read of the car makes a clunking noise. I thought that it might be where the top of the shock bolts into the car. I tightened that and it didn't fix the problem. I looked under the car ind didn't notice anything loose of falling off.
The car has 85,000 miles on it. The shock are QA1 with 40K, the springs are eibach pro kit with 40K, adjustable panhard bar, bmr lower control arms, weld in relocation brackets.
Any suggestions on what I should do about the clunking noise would be appreciated.
Nick

our cars have a bump stop on the rear. it is a small rubber thing on the axleclose to the springs. so when we lower our cars this bump stop, i have found, has to be removed. i had to remove mine because the noise was annoying the crap out of me.
