Default clunking noise from rear

hi guys, got another problem which had started to occur but i didnt really take much notice of it.

everytime i go over bumps or uneven ground the back of the car is starting to make a clunking noise, the shocks are konis which im sure are fine, does anyone have any ideas about what it could be?

the car is fully polybushed if that makes any difference?

Easy enough to check though and they do tend to last unless you run massive power. Trailing arm bushes can wear but I'd also suggest the cvs which clack and vibrate like heck when knackered and sound even worse (as does everything) when transmitted through polybushed back ends.

As said just have a good look, ARB bushes are a fave as is a banging exhaust.
You can get a POLY rear diff hanger from mc2racing in the states, or easier from R&B Motorsport(just don't tell him I said so!!)
