Suspension Clunking

hey guys just recent my car start clunking while going over pumps in the road and what not.

i've searched on other forums and stuff but came up short.
maybe you guys can help me out?

heres a quick vid i made showing you that there's no leaking from the shock.
and the noise it makes when i go over a bump.



if theres already a clunking shock thread im sorry, like i said i searched and came up short so plez hold on the flaming on that, or deletion of my post. ..thank you.

note: this is on the left (driver side) rear shock.

I had clunking from my coilover camber plate coming loose at the strut. The top nut somehow came loose.... Check that.

I'm betting it's the stock top mounts. They're rubber and they're probably well beyond toast by now. Get some new ones.
