Thats it all back together now but still making the clunking
noise when i go over speed bumps.I noticed when the springs
were off between the coils were rusty as if theyve been touching
so i think thats what the noise is.anyone any suggestions how to
stop this?

[craigyboy]

Any ideas?

shock absorbers worn
top mounts
incorrect springs
exhaust knocking
rear hatch bolts loose
