rear end "thunk"

[joekd]

Recently I started to get a rear end "thunk" over large bumps or when I have a passenger in the rear, suspension is all stock and the only thing I have done to the rear is remove the "dogbone" from where the driveshaft meets the rear

Checked under the car, no tires are hitting and the rear end snubber still looks perfect. Exhaust is OEM as well and not a mark on it, driveshaft looks fine too.

Any idea what else to check? It is a definate that the noise is coming from the rear

Your rear shocks are done.

How do you figure? I did the shock bounce test and it was fine plus no sign of any leaking

ck for worn bushings on the upper and lower control arms

Just because they're not leaking doesn't mean they're still good.

Just questioning why you would even suspect shocks? I think bushings are next to check

Thanks

You mentioned you get a "thunk" when you have more load in the rear or hit a bump. Shocks are the first thing that come to mind.
