I'm experiencing a clunk rattle in the suspension as well. Every time I drive over a dip or on a bumpy road its loud and clunky.
Any ideas based on this video I took where I just push up and down on the rear passenger side of the vehicle to get this sound?




EDIT: From everything I've looked at online it seems like the sway bar end links. I'm going to replace those this weekend and see if that resolves the issue.

EDIT #2: replaced both sway bar end links. Issue persists. How annoying.

Should be easy to locate, get under the car while someone does what you just did. Put the axles on stands and take the tires off for a better visual on tracing the sound.

Mine turned out to be a loose bolt from the rear knuckle.

I had the same issue It turned out to be the spindle all my bushing were bad, so I installed BMR toe end links and poly bushings and BMR trailing arms and poly bushings and poly bushings for the control arms and my clunking is gone

I had a clunk sound every time I hit a bump in the rear also. Turned out to be my rear subframe bushings too.

Still trying to track this issue down. I'm wondering if maybe it's the factory struts finally going out? Should I buy Bilstein B6's?
Wouldn't know where to start if it's bushings..

Any more ideas?

Have you tried to get it on a drive on lift and track it down?
