What are the signs of a bad rear hub?

I have this clunking sound when i go over bumps on the passenger side rear of the car. Its very loud and very annoying. It sounds like the struts is going to go through the wheel wheel is how loud it is. Im thinking its the hub what are the signs of this going bad?

The hub? You meant the wheel bearings? Don't think your symptoms indicate that. Sounds more like failed shock absorber or broken shock mount.

If you guys also have custom cat backs or exhaust work it could possibly be the exhaust hitting the rear wishbone type suspention thingy in the back. I know the exhaust piping goes in between the body of the car and the wishbone suspention in the rear pass side of the car right by the wheel.
