98 AWD Rear Suspension Noise

Post by rmmagow »

219K miles. I am getting a clunking, snapping noise from the rear of my car when going over sharp bumps like speed bumps etc at low speed. A noise very similar to this in the front was the skinny strut stabilizer bars. I'm pretty sure I have Nivomats in the rear. Where should I concentrate my efforts looking for this noise? I am assuming it is some worn out bush type part. Common points of wear back there?? The propshaft was removed a long time ago.
Thanks
