Default Diagnosis Please

So I had D-Specs installed at a reputable shop last week, and recently I've noticed a strange kind of clunking noise coming from the back right (passenger's side). It is not on every turn or bump, but sometimes when I make a right I hear a strange kind of thunk. I can post pics to show you what it looks like, but it looks like every other mustang with the same mods.. Is it a defective rear shock?

Thanks,

Fred Malibu

sounds like it could be something similar to the dreaded front end thunk

Ya, thats what I was afraid of..

But I havent heard of any dreaded rear and thunk...?!

The virus is spreading and mutating? lol

Any advice? I had it looked at by the shop guys and they said the car is fine and safe.. i want to know the problem though.
(They couldn't hear it when they took it out, though one guy said he heard "something" when he pulled it in the garage)

Just a passing thought... you don't have anything sitting in the trunk that could cause that noise by hitting the walls of the trunk?

I thought that too.. but all I got is Nitrous, and its on the other side..

No, it a pop kind of noise.. I am inclined to believe it is in the shock itself.. but I am not sure..

I need more help as to how to troubleshoot this..
