Default NO Wonder it was CLUNKING!

look at these pics! so i have been driving my car for about a year now. since i have had its been clunking REAL hard every once in awhile around corners under my car. I was thinking it might be my sway bar end links or possibly my motor mounts. well i ordered up some polyurethane endlinks figuring i would upgrade anyways. Well i went to swap em out and 1 of my endlinks was actually snapped OFF! wtf... ive been driving this whole time with virtually no sway bar since it was only hooked up on one side. i havent driven it yet since i put the performance ones on yet. but i am betting my handling especially around corners is gonna be vastly improved!

i get a clunking too man but its like in the rear like under the passenger door

sometimes i can hear it hit the unibody and i can feel it in the floor

really appreciate ur input on this, thanks

edit: its only when i turn left and if i slow down it bangs maybe once or twice if im going fast it will constantly bang

mine would only bang once and alotta times it was left turns but right ones sometimes too. it was hitting just under the floor about where the front seats are. i didnt look to see what exactly it was hitting under there but i could look tomorrow if you wanna know specifically? i cant wait to go do some doughnuts i bet im gonna have a ton less body roll going on.
