Default Right rear "Sag" problem.....

Okay. My right rear is sagging (according to my eye-balling). Accompanying the sag is a healthy banging when driving over road imperfections. It started after I put in my adjustable lower control arms with rod ends. My mechanic suggested it could be the lower shock mount (neither of us has inspected the vehicle yet). I've got LCA relocation brackets on, and just had a new rear sway bar installed as well. The banging only seems to occur with up and down motion (ie hitting a bump) but not when turning, or during acceleration/braking (unless hitting a bump!).

Possibilities to check out? Maybe the spring seat?

well they all sag on the passenger rear pretty much... Have you tried bouncing it up and down while it is parked to see if you can recreate the banging sound

Its your LCA's. I also have rod ended lca's and they clunk every time the rear end tries to move, even makes noise when I launch and do burnouts. Try to tighten the **** out of them, should help slightly.

Mine does the same thing after a UMI adjustable LCA install. I haven't tried retightening them yet. Same clunk over bumps, still handles fine.
