    I am going to be checking for a small rear pass side clunk/rattle this weekend. Looks like the previous owner may have changed the strut.
    Bolts in trunk look newer. Thinking maybe not tight enough. upper ones 15mm ? lower on the 21 mm ?Any other common spots? any bushings in particular to check ? Diagram or picture would be great ?

    Thanks

    Make sure the end links are tight

    Could be the strut mount also. Some people tend to put new struts in and forget to do the mounts..

    The nuts are tight, but you can twist the link with your hand when the wheel is off. I assume they are shot ?
