there once was a clunk
from the left rear suspension
couldn't find anything --
caused me some tension.

now when I turn
(to the left, not the right)
or go over a bump
it gives me a fright

thought it was sway bars
thought it was springs
now I think
that it's none of those things

could it be shocks?
or the bolts for alignment?
OR MAYBE I HAVE NO %^$#^* IDEA....

Seriously -- this is getting damn annoying.
BAsically, if I make a sharp, low speed turn to the left, or exit my
driveway (or go over a speed bump) I hear this really nasty clunk from the
lest rear of the car.  If I hadn't checked about 8,000,000 times I'd swear
it a bowling ball sliding around in the trunk.  BUt it's not.

Any help?  Please????
