Rear end clunking?
Hey fellas, I need some help on my car. Ever since i bought my car the rear end would clunk or bottom out or thump lol, over bumps, idunno what to call it but it's a holly or bottom out sound in the rear end when I go over bumps and very very noticeable. The only reason why now instead of before im questioning this is because a couple friends of mine came up from New York last night. We drove around to grab and bite to to eat and all of my friends was like dude WTH is up with the rear end is that normal?" To say the least it doesn't sound normal now lol they told me I should bring the car in which I am, I'm just wondering if anyone experience this and has gone threw the dealer. I searched up and forms but no evidence of what it is or anything particular to what I'm experiencing.. Anyone?

I would suspect the sway bar endlinks. If you have access to a lift, put it up in the air and start knocking on parts to find loose bolts/etc. That's how I found out my sway bar end links needed tightened, lol
Also, how fast do you go over said bumps (assuming large pot holes and speed bumps)?

Mine had a clunking coming from the rear when new and it was the exhaust. I took it back to the dealer the week I bought it, they made a few adjustments, probably took less than 30 minutes, haven't heard the noise again
