weird noise coming from rear beam

so after i installed my coilovers a while ago, i never really paid attention to it, but its starting to get to me, every time i pull in somewhere, and its an incline or decline, and im going in on an angle, the rear beam sounds like its about to break, its like a clunk noise... anyone have any ideas?

You sure it's not the coilovers? Check all the bolts on the trailing arms and the bushings.

I don't think anything else can move back there..
Coilovers, trailing arms and the thing in the middle of the rear beam.

Do you have a rear sway bar? Check the bushings or even remove it and see if the noise will go away.

Yea I get that noise to when pulling in at an angle on an incline or such but only on the right side so leaves me to believe it the exhaust hitting the beam.

i think low cars just flex and make noises. im pretty sure i know what noise your talking about. maybe check your ksports in the rear to see if they are blown.
