We are experiencing a clunking/thumping sound coming from the right rear of the car. This seems to mainly happen when making a left turn. We have replaced the rear control arm, it was broken/cracked. The sound was better for a couple weeks, but has now returned. Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated!!

check rear suspension for bends due to hitting a pothole. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
