rear clunking but don't think it's from suspension
getting pretty bad rear clunking and so far, I don't think it's coming from the suspension.
I am thinking it's coming from the rear hatch strut because when I lift up the hatch, the hatch actually feels quite lose and can be easily shaken left to right and produce similiar clunking noise.
thoughts?

What kind of suspension are you running? I've had the stock rear upper mounts wear out and make lots of clunking noises over every undulation in the road. Coilover upper mounts are much more solid and can be noisy even when new.

What sort of clunking are you noticing? Does it only make noise when you hit bumps?
Mine only clunks when coming to a stop when my suspension settings are soft. I stiffened them and the clunking is still there but less noticeable so I think it has to do with the coilovers.

Ahhh Clunk
I finally replaced the rear pillow bearings thinking it was going to solve this clunk. Nope. The bearings were definately shot but the clunk is still there. New delran bushings and trailing arms, not toe arms though. They still look OK to me. I'm thinking the damn power plant frame is cracked again!
