Default For the past month i have had this clunk comming from the rear of my car when going straight over

low speed bumps.I thought i had corrected it when i removed the oilover and upright last week, But i guess not. Its now getting worse and sounds like the whole rear end is is making a low tone thump (clunk) the a slight rattle...? I have already checked my h-sport rear sway and the bushings aswell as the sway bar endlinks while i was under the car...But the problem still persists? Any thoughts TIA

Default I had a similar sound...

It ended up being the sway bar bushings. I had also checked them (without disasembly) and they appeared fine, but upon closer inspection there was a very small amount of play. Replaced the bushings and all is fine now.

I have it, but it is just my exhaust hitting the rear cross member. Check that area.
