Rear passenger side clunk...

When i go over bumps, and not always big ones, I can hear a pretty annoying "clunk" from that general area. When i was under doing the shocks recently i saw that the hanger for the exhaust exit pipe out of the muffler had some slack in it. So I thought that was the culprit since the clearance with the exhaust all around there seemed tight. But when Im driving, it really sounds like it is too loud for that to be causing it the more and more that I hear it.

I did some searching and some people say that the bushings in your LCA's can cause this or if they are not tight enough. Everything under the car is definitely tight enough, plus it only does it on the passenger side (which also makes me lean toward exhaust clearance issues), so i have ruled that out. My LCA's are not that old, can that really cause this? Would getting relocation brackets help with the travel of the LCA's and possibly solve this mystery clunk?

Re: Rear passenger side clunk...

I have the same mystery clunk yr talkin about. Mine came after I swapped out the 10bolt for a nine inch and did the shocks. I have yet to figure it out but im getting new lcas soon so if it is the bushing, problem solved. If not...the mystery continues....

Oh yea...i had to remove my rear sway bar and still havent put it back on. I dont know if that would have anything to do with it.

Re: Rear passenger side clunk...

anybody think it is something with the LCA's? Either the bushings are shot or something? Does that happen usually? They are less than 3 years old of ACTUAL driving on them...
