Default cant figure this one out?

I have a 2001 SS. The car only has 50,000 miles. The car is completely stock as far as the suspension is concerned.
My question is this....WHenever i am driving normally the car is great. When i go over speed bumps at a slow pace on the right side of my car, I hear a clank sound. It makes the noise as soon as the right rear tire hits the speed bump. What is making this noise? Is it my bump stops, loose bolt or what?

Someone please help............

Could be your exhaust moving.

Bushing wore out on the L.C.A.? Another possibility could be caliper bolts loose?

I had the exact same noise that you are talking about.... it turned out to be one of the bolts for the lca's was a "little" loose. I torqued the bolt to spec and it stopped...

Same here, it sounded like someone hit under the back seat with a hammer. Tightend the bolts up at the LCA's and it went away.
