Suspension Clunking in Rear?

Anyone else have a suspension clunking noise in the rear? When driving at about 25-35 over flat, bumpy pavement, I hear a clunking noise in the rear that sounds like either a bad balljoint or two suspension pieces hitting each other. The car has been to the dealership multiple times to fix it and each time the dealership tried to do some half-assed fix claiming the issue was coming from something other than the suspension...

Heres a test you can do. grab your wheel and try to shake it. or jack your car up and take off the wheel and grab the rotor and shake it. if it moves you need to have them look at your rear control arm buffers. Had the same problem with mine and the dealership wouldn't deal with it till I had another shop look at it and took video. dealership fixed it the next day.

Thought i had suspension issue in rear..turned out it was x pipe tapping against tunnel brace..fixed with a couple of washers to expand gap between xpipe & brace

My friend, you surely have a defective strut. Ther3 are postings upon postings of this same issue. I kept pressing my dealer, and they eventually changed the strut. Prolblem fixed

Did this problem ever get fixed? I have the same noise coming from the passenger rear. I just replaced the rear shocks and shock mounts and the noise is still there. I have shaken my suspension with the wheel real hard and cant hear or see anything out of the ordinary.
