Default rear end clunk

Im getting a clunk sound when I go over small bumps. Appears to be coming from the rear (passenger).

Any input?

Pretty sketchy description. Could be anything from a blown shock to something more serious like a suspension component coming loose. Have you had the car up on jackstands yet to inspect the rear suspension and driveline?

This is a common problem with the Z and I have the same clunk. I think it's a bushing or something Nissan didn't make it big enough and it results in this noise.
