Rear Clunk???
I have a 00 acura tl, and when I hit the bumps on the road, there seems to be a clunk, coming from the rear of the car????? Could it be something loose, or do I need new shocks?????

Inspect the end links to see if they are tight and not broken. If they are i would look into the rear shocks.

I have the same problem, I checked the rear links and one of them was broken. I ordered new ones for each side and after I get them installed I'll let everyone know if that fixes the noise.
