Clunking noise coming from the back
There seems to to be a clunking noise that occurs every 2-5 minutes from the back of my car at random. I originally though it was the loose tools in my trunk making the noises but I took them out and it still makes the noise. I have a feeling it may be my exhaust because I scraped it going down a steep drop making the sound occur more often(the noise was there when I bought the car). Maybe my rear suspension? Loose bolts? What are some of the things I should check. THanks!

sway bar end links bad
broken exhaust support mount
Put it on ramps or stop by a muffler shop for an inspection
blown shocks would make noise on every bump- is there any oil leaking from the shocks?
thats the usual sign its got a bad seal
To test shocks- go to one corner and bounce the car several times then step back- car should stop on one movement of shock travel-

Alright thanks guys, I will check out everything you guys said and report back in a few days.

There is no noise on every bump, the noise seems to occur randomly when the car is moving, I cannot reproduce the sound at will. I am on K-sport coilovers, I tried bouncing the car and it is very difficult even using my weight(250lbs), but it seems that it is bouncing one time after I bounce it. No oil is leaking from the shocks from a quick visual inspection, nothing on my garage floor either.
I will try replacing the sway bar endlinks since it seems like a cheap part, does anyone know what tools/socket sizes I will need to replace it? thanks again for your help guys, I appreciate it a lot.
