It could be the end link rubbing on the trailing arm. It might not rub with the car jacked up so you will need to look with the car on the ground. If it is rubbing, it is very important to correct so it does not jam up and cause massive oversteer.

Could also be a loose endlink.....those things have a way of never tightening enough and then making a bunch of noise while you drive.

I'd jack the car back up and check all the nuts and bolts that you worked with. My guess is that one or two of them are just a little loose.

dandennis123,
Did you figure out what was causing the clunking?
