Possibly a bad bushing?

I got my car lowered within the last month and pretty much right away I noticed a clunking coming from the back right suspension.

I know that it's normal for the car to make more of a thud when going over bumps once its lowered; the other three corners do this. But the back right is more of a clunking, it doesn't make the same solid sound that the other corners of the car make when they absorb impact.

I'm riding on H&R Sports and KYB AGXs, Stock rims and crappy tires from crappy tire. The AGX's are set up at hardest on the front (4/4) and three quarters hardness on the rear (6/8) or is it 5/8??? Maybe i'll go check....

Any advice? Thanks.

get under it and start shaking stuff around - something's gotta be loose. it's not rocket science, but w/o looking at your car it's impossible to tell you.

ditto

so hard to tell what it might be without doing some research yourself

Thanks guys. I just don't know how much shaking I want to do with my car on jack stands...

I'll give it a try anyways. Thanks for the info.

I had a similar thing - 1 of my rear struts had no shock bumper (my car lowered 2-3") so every time I hit a bump the shock bottomed out metel to metal.

I know that's not the problem. I have bump stops on all corners.
