rear suspension noise

my n/a 3000 recently developed a loud clunking noise in the rear suspension. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side. It only happens when I turn left (compressing the spring on that side) or go over a decent bump. BTW I have eibachs and a swaybar. Both have been in for over a year with no issues.

Any idea what could be the cause of this noise?

Check all bolt connections. Bolts / nuts may be missing or loosing up.

Top of the strut shafts may be broken (Very rare case in rear multilink)

Definitely not a loose bolt (just got under it and checked). Must be the strut- or maybe the swaybar bushing is worn out? In any case, my shocks are crap right now (they've been on for 15k miles with Eibachs and who knows how long before that)

Time for some JIC's I think
