Car is clunking, can't find any culprit, definetly never been in an accident, suspension/steering all OK (replaced).

Still can't find it, but the car sounds like a chevy nova over some bumps. Generally when it hits multiple bumps and sharp ones.

Default Nay

Sorry for not posting - I checked them. After listening to the floor, it seems like the noise is not suspension related (control arms/shocks) Almost seems like it's underneath the driver/passenger. Very difficult to pinpoint so I may take off my Borla exhaust and put the stocker on to make it quiet and remove the passenger seat to get some more room to move around - listen with a stethoscope I guess...Terribly annoying!

Default Haven't dropped the tranny

Recently installed suspension and a bunch of control arms, but this was there BEFORE (hence why i was installing arms) Turns out most of them were fine
