Default rear suspension noise 97 camry

Hello I put a post in on 8/20 on this noise and did not find it yet.It's a very loud clunk metal to metal sound and is worse at low speed 5mph.I had the strut rod off and the bushings looked good on the drivers side.I was told by a member that sway bar bushings are a common problem so yesterday I took the sway bar off and took it for a slow ride and still had the noise.I cannot duplicat the noise when it is at a standstill.I'm now leaning to that the noise is coming from either lower suspension arms,strut support rod,or schocks in that order.Did any one else experiance this noise and what did you do to get rid of it?I have new sway bar bushings on order even though I do'nt think they will solve my problem.Any reply is appreciated.If I get to the source of this noise I will post it as only for this noise the car runs fine with 155,000 miles.

I'm having the same problem in my 99 . It happens as i'm going over bumps etc...kinda like a clunking-ish noise. Doesn't seem to have gotten any worse as time goes by...but it is pretty annoying. please let me know if the new bushings fixed your problem, or if anyone else has fixed it let us know the answer! lol

Thanks

Josh

I've replaced tons of rear sway bar bushing for noise over bumps. Also jack the rear wheels up and see if theres movement in the rear wheels side to side, grab the wheels in the 9 & 3 oclock position and see if theres movement

Just wondering if anyone has any pics of the rear sway bar bushings? where can you buy them from? and is it a pretty straight forward replacement?

Thanks

Josh
