Default help, clunking noise

every time i go over a speed bump too fast i hear a hard clunk come from the rear passenger area of my car. sounds like something is hitting the frame or body of the car. 01 z28, 56k miles on it. thanks guys.

Do you have an aftermarket torque arm? Mine banged inside the tunnel for a while. What about aftermarket exhaust?

when back up no.

when the body twists, no clunking just a weird creaking/wobbling type of noise.

as far as i know the entire suspension is stock save for sub frame connectors and an slp strut tower brace. i do have exhaust but its a hard solid clunk, definitely part of the suspension hitting the frame.
