I am getting a loud clunk from my rear suspension when I go over bumps, it seems to be mostly on the passenger rear, but it will happen sometimes on the drivers rear. It is very loud and only happens on bumps, on smooth roads it makes no noises. I have the following things-cusco comp-s coilovers, supposedly "rebuilt"-Subframe Spacers-All Rear Arms replaced with adjustable pieces-Rear lower Brace

The coilovers are still very firm and the car handles great, I do need an alignment, dont know if that makes any difference, and when I hit a bump at speed, it makes the loud clunk and the rear end of the car will feel loose. I will take a video of the noise and see if that helps. Thanks guys.

***Video***Listen for a loud clunk, happens about 5 times.

I checked the axles for play, and when you pull them away from the hub then release them they make the noise I was hearing, if I tighten the nut on the axle will it fix this?
