Default Clonking?

Hi. 53 reg blob wagon..replaced shocks all round and arb bushes ,drop links etc. But still have a clunking from somewhere at the rear. And when driving slow like of the drive, when the car leans or changes angle as my drive is on a slant it creaks on one side at the rear left only. Any ideas what this could be.,? Thx 🤔

Quite often it's the top mount on the strut which wears and causes a knocking noise

Trailing arm/bushes?
Did you replace the top mounts?

I had an odd creak on my old WRX wagon that was due to trailing arm bushes.
To work it out I had to grease random components until I found the one that caused it.

I didn't think they did a wagon figment? Although that was a while ago. But I had the exact issue one wide track fitment. Had 2 sets if top mounts and a whole new set under warranty before sacking them off for teins.

Not 100% saying its that but that sounds exactly like my issues
