Default Clunking noise

Alright as I'm driving I am hearing a clunking noise coming from my right rear. From doing a search and everything I think the problem I'm having is with my endlink. I have the hotchkis front and rear sway bar and I think the sway bars came with endlinks. Should I get new ones or does someone think that something else is the problem? Also if I do get new endlinks, is it easy to install them? I don't really know a whole lot about modding cars, just I wanted a few things done to my car so I can get the most out ot it. Thanks for the help!

It's probably your endlinks. Hotchkis bars don't come with new ones, and the stockies are pretty weak. One of them is probably loose, and just needs to be tightened up. It's probably a good idea to replace them, though.

Its definitely the endlink. I had the same issue just this week. waiting for my dezod endlinks to arrive tomorrow. The bolt doesnt grab that well since the sway is a little thicker

Well it also started to happen after I got my car back from body work. I was rear ended and pushed into the car infront of me as well. I brought my car in to get it looked at and they said it was the endlink but they said that it isn't like that because of the accident. I don't know if I should just save the time and just buy new endlinks or take it up with insurance.

like I said ealier, its the endlink. taking it up with the insurance won't do anything. its the stock endlink. they don't line up and fit well o the hotchkis sways. you need to get the adjustable endlinks from Dezod for $69 shipped

It doesn't happen in my front, but I don't see why it wouldn't. I just got my end links in the mail yesterday, I just need to find time to get them on. The knocking noise is really annoying though and it makes it feel like my car is falling apart.

I have the same clunking noise problem on my rear left, I checked the endlink and it was oozing out some liquid. Do you guys know whether its okay to drive? I just ordered a progress rear sway that comes with new endlinks and it won't come in until a week.
