Just curious, but could it just be the car jack or lug wrench flopping around in the spare wheel well? That will make a pretty noticeable clunk.

RE: Clunk in rear of car
Damn- I didnt know that.
Theyre a bitch to do on the ground so thats why I did them on a lift. I had to pull the exhaust off to get them in place and I couldnt get the exhaust off on the ground.
Hopefully Ill get a chance to fix them soon then. I might just have somebody weld in torque box reinforcements anyway though.

your gonna destroy the bushings very quickly. do it soon. the bushings are made to absorb shock in and out, and twist a tiny tiny bit. tightening them while the axle is hanging, and then lowering the car, twists the bushing way beyond what it was ever meant to do.
