Clunking in the Rear Guys, I've had an annoying clunking noise coming from the rear of my car for at least a couple of years now. I've retorqued the LCA bolts, inspected the top shock mounts, the exhaust is tight and not hitting anything, the panhard bar bushings look good.
We did replace the sway bar bushings and end links, and that got rid of about 60% of it. Still plenty of clunking going on back there though. What else could it be? Anyone have a similar problem and solve it?

I know that the front bolts were replaced with longer and perhaps thicker ones when we installed SFC's. I seem to remember them being beefier than the stockers. Rears would be stock though.

Yes, I did. It was caused by worn sway bar and end link bushings. You couldn't tell by visual inspection; it became suspect by tugging on the bar. Getting that resolved helped isolate clunking which was coming from the front. That resulted in new control arm bushings, ball joints, sway and endlink bushings. Free at last from clunking!
