Hi all-

Last week I replaced the rear subframe, rear sway bar, links, and sway bar bushings (Energy Suspension) hoping to get rid of the clunking noise. Well, after installing everything and having it aligned, the clunking is definitely reduced, but it is still there. Over fairly heavy bumps, it feels as if the rear end is just loose. It rattles around, and almost feels as if I am getting wheel hop. Is there anything else I should check? I will say the tie-bar ends (I think)...the bar that connects to the bottom of the knuckle...is loose. I can wiggle it back and forth horizontally. Is this normal, or should it be tight? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I haven't tried switching the bracket for the brake lines around, but I can't see that making the whole rear end feel loose. Thanks in advance!!

My guess would be your rear struts?
