Clunking from left rear suspension

My car started "clunking" from the left rear over bumps at even slow speeds in the past couple months. I'm running Dinan springs and RAC wheels, but no other suspension modifications, and am at 37k miles. My dealer diagnosed it as a loose antiroll bar end link, which is being installed today. Hope it works because it's been really annoying to drive like that.

I was going to suggest the swaybar link. It should fix your problem. The other thing that I was going to say would be the spring was not sitted correctly in the cup/spring purge?

It was just that the nut attaching the swaybar link was loose. New Nyloc nut and all is good again!
