Default 2000 ss suspension help and clunks

First off all suspension is stock, noticed last week that the right rear of the car seems to be sitting lower then the left. Second thing when I get on it hard in first especially if I got wheel spin I have a loud clunking that seems to be coming from under the passenger seat area probably just sounds that way anyone have any ideas?

Climb under it and look. Maybe a broken shock mount, bad tranny mount , etc.

this uneven-ness is very common, check past posts on the topic; its normal. i usually climb under and start banging with fist or hammer on stuff to get it to make the sound im chasing... check bushings and lose bolts, but it could be many things
