I own a 2007 Chevy Uplander,I jave just replaced the rear track bar and rear shock absorbers,but I'm still getting a rather loud clunking noise in the rear of the van still. Any ideas? Thinking it may be the rear trail arm bushings?

If you shift from Drive to Reverse and get that noise then it is a CV joint, you can check this in a parking lot by turning a circle sharp to the left and then sharp to the right. IF you get repeated clunking, it is a CV joint. If you don't get any noise then check the bushings for the lost grommet.

SOURCE: 2003 Dodge Durango clunking noise in front end can

With the information given this is not a sure solution. Questions that need to be asked is when does this happen, turning at slow speedm high speed, when hitting a pot hole etc? Since you have replaced a lot of things already, assuming you have NEW good quality parts so you did not replace bad parts with new bad parts i would definitelu check the pitman arm. This runs from the stering gear to the tierod. It can give you some good clunks while steering, especially at low speed when there is a lot of resistance. Check it by having someone turning the steering wheel when watchin/feeling it.

SOURCE: Noise from rear suspension on 2003 Honda Odyssey.

a clunking clanging noise sounds very much like your stabilizer bar end links and bushings. you have a thin rear "sway" bar on the rear of your odyssey. this can cause a whole lot of noise. grab each side and pull/push. if it feals loose, replace the end links and bushings.

1999 chevy lumina clunking noise in rear

Hi Ryan, If you were here in Africa I would say its probably shock absorbers. If your roads are anything like ours, check those and the exhaust system hangers for anything that may be broken. Regards John

Everytime I hit a bump the rear end slams into the frame. New shocks and a check of the springs show no problems. GM dealership said no problems,...but the there is a problem...the darn thing is bottoming...

If this vehicle is equipped with rear struts....not shock absorbers...which most vehicles are equipped with today the sound you are speaking of seems to indicate worn strut plates and bushings... most repair facilities over look these items when replacing the strut housings and thus customer gets this noise even louder now that the struts are new and the plates and bushings are old not able to absorb the shock the vehicles suspension incurrs whuile riding over a bumpy terrain.
