I did too but have just changed my rear axles trailing bars complete with poly bushes and the clunk has gone. Also seems alot more stable at motorway speeds now.

Ours clunks at the front, I think it's wear in all the drivetrain.

thats what I thought about mine but it seems the tourque was twisting the rear axle forwards against the worn out bushes. Anyway was just an idea incase anyone had the same clunk :)

LOL I think my reason for changing them is well documented ;) I was one of the unlucky few to get the weaker thin diameter solid bar ones as OEM equipment
