    Hello I just replaced all the struts on my 1998 GTP and now the rear end is making a clunking noise over some bumps but not all the time. It sounds like it's coming from the the righ rear strut. I had the car inspected when I had the struts replaced and the shop said everything is fine. Could it be the sway bar links?

    Thanks

    Make sure the trailing arms are tight too.

    I had the exact same problem after doing my whole suspension over. Right rear was clunking over bumps. The strut mount had gone bad after a couple of months.
