Endlinks might be toasted.

Is your bumper fluid low? It requires proper lubrication!

Sure LanceR, here are some pics of endlinks. This is from a Civic, but you get the point. The end links are in the red boxes:

If it's not the end links, this might be next possible cause for the 'clanking' noise. Lubing is everything.

Good luck.

Sounds like a worn out trailing arm bushing.

Do end links by any chance make a VERY loud metal clunk? and would u guys know if it sets the car height off..lets just say... 1.5inch diff between driver rear, n passenger rear height.
