Default Please Help :( LOL

Hey guys,
please help me. haha
this has been an ongoing issue for me, since i bought the car 2 months ago,i have a clunking noise coming from the rear right suspension area, i know that there is that "clicking" noise that is notorious on these cars but its not a clicking noise, its full on metal on metal clunking, it comes and goes but its there more than its not, and its NASSSTYYYY, it is most noticable while accelerating, any gear any speed,and it gets louder and more consistant with aceelertatiiong.... or taking left turns (load being on the right) I replaced my axle and wheel bearing and the noise went away for a good two weeks and TA-DA! here it is again, my mechanic can't seem to figure it out either, i bought the car as it sits, from the looks of it it does have after market shocks, not sure about springs. but i dont think that has anything to do with it
any input is greatly appreciated!
I have a 03 350z
thanks guys!

Could be your sway bar endlink. Could also be were the strut/coil over (if you have them) mounts at the bottom. Sometimes the hole in the bracket on the bottom of the strut/coil over were is mounts is too large and the bolt (wobbles) inside causing the noise. There is a thread on here all about this. It even has a few fixes listed. I'll try to find it for you.
