UPDATE***
I brung the car in yesterday. The took it for a test drive, and looked under the car. He said there is way to much noise in the rear, so they are gonna replace the end links, but in my case they are replacing the whole sway bar because I guess it's one piece he said..So hopefully that take car of this, if not then; then well I will be heading back lol

My rear has been clunking for longer than I can remember, but only when turning with no load on the drive train. Basically when i go to turn into a parking space and have all ready pressed the clutch pedal, it will clunk when I start turning. I always assumed it was the limited slip, because it doesn't do it in a straight line. Did it before the gear install as well.
Good luck, I just gave up and decided to beat on it till something broke. That was 5-6 years ago.

Hi Guys
I too am having a problem with a clunking sound which is coming from the rear, sometimes the front but mostly the rear end (both sides). Most noticeable when going up a driveway at an angle. No problems on flat surfaces. I'm the second owner. The first owner dropped the vehicle 1.5" all the way around. Installed Eibach Sportline springs and swaybar but kept the factory shocks and struts. I've had it to numerous shops up on lifts and the clunk cannot be duplicated while on the lift (frustrating). Opinions are all over the place - you need new shocks and struts, you don't need new shocks and struts, etc, etc, etc.
