Default Hollow clunk from drivers side rear

Hello
I own a 2003 s60 base and have been having this annoying hollow clunking sound when I drive over bumps. It's more noticeable when going slow. It seems to be coming from the drivers side and is only noticeable from inside the car. I've already replaced the end links and the shocks have 30,000 miles but aren't leaking. I don't know what it is

clunks could be the strut mount assembly - ie spring seat or strut bearing. If this is your second set of struts, its possible weak after market parts were used or the strut was incorrectly reassembled. Also did you inspect the bushings/mounting brackets holding the sway bar to the chassis? After that you may need to inspect motor mounts (ie torque rods) for any torn rubber.

I forgot to mention that it's coming from the rear.

Have you checked for loose items in the trunk/boot?


Sometimes you are lucky.
