    Anything suspension related, rear end, you will have to investigate a little better to find out.

    Loose air bag!?!?!?!

    You do know the airbags are made out of rubber and won't make a clunking sound............

    Anything suspension, rear end, u-joint(s), body mounts.....

    Wait I have that sound too... I believe it's play in the rear axle. Every time the rear brakes engage it stiffens and shifts the angle of the axle to the rear, when you let off the brakes, naturally it goes back to the original position. I will investigate as well. Just haven't gotten around to do it.

    Control arm bushings may be worn out. Make sure the control arm bolts are balls to the wall tight....I think like over 100 ft lbs

    Air bag mounts do not come loose.they are part if the airbag assembly . You need to raise car with no weight on rear suspension. To check for loose or worn bushings. Make sure you turn air ride switch off in trunk when raising car with nothing supporting the rear axle
