first and easy check is the shock rubber bushes
if they check out fine might be time for some new torsion bar bushings

I had a clunk from the back end, sounded like the battery was bouncing around on heavy bump (which it wasnt), changed the body mount shock pad on that side and all good! Used a piece of my rubber floor mat in the garage.
