Clunking, knocking somewhere back there
Most noticeable when driving slowly through parking lots, parking garages and other places with lots of small bumps there is a clunking and knocking sound back there in the back part back there.
Pretty sure it is on driver side and just replaced the wheel bearing on that rear axle since it had plenty of side-to-side play that could cause that noise. (and also because it was full of rusty goo since the outer seal was busted and the bearing got full of water sometime past)
It is there also when going over bigger bumps but it's not necessary a louder or bigger sound at that point.
My latest suspect is the swaybar links just because they're old and dry.
Can't make it repeat by jumping on bumper or rocking vehicle side-to-side.
Looked at all the junk in the back, moved it all around several times, found some things I thought I had lost, no change in sound.
