It appears a lot of people have problems with a clunking noise coming from the rear of the cabin when going over bumps. It sounds like it is coming from high up and not an "outside" noise. I have jic coilovers installed. Is there anything you guys have found to solve this clunk?
So far things I'm going to check:-Retighten center coilover nut with impact gun-Sway bar bushings (but noise sounds higher?)-Spring rattle?

it's not something simple as a bushing. I need people who have coilovers for their input, its something at the top of the coilover that's making a noise.

Alot of coilovers are noisy you go to a pillowball mount and have metal on metal as opposed to the rubber cushion with shocks. Them also being stiffer though you will hear things you didn't before from the car. Hard to give you much help without hearing it though.
