Here's the story:
I park at a sushi place in La Jolla with a weird ass parking lot.
I proceed to back out, and promptly back off a curb, slamming my rear driver side tire to the ground.
Ever since then, it's been making a clunking noise every time I corner hard, or brake hard. If I go over bumps, the shit clunks like crazy.
When I park the car facing forward on a STEEP hill & turn the car on, I can FEEL the clunking underneath me with the car standing still, and when I back up, the weight of the car pushing forward really accentuates the noise.

I checked my rotor, caliper, and shock tower, and the suspension components, they all look fine from visual inspection. I'm afraid my shit will go flying out on the freeway

help :(

jack your car up and check again. spin the wheels to see if you hear anything. then replace whatever is broken.

when my axle took a crap on me my car lags everytime i switch gears. i could feel and hear the clunking noise from the rear.

If you are experiencing this while at rest than the driveline/suspension is not the place to look. Check the exhaust.

Check the exhaust and the sway bar links. If you broke a link then it would make noises cornering, but the car would also corner differently. Honestly though it sounds like your exhaust to me.
