Icon5 Clunking in rear drivers side while turning left.

My 2003 Si hatch has developed a new clunk sound in the rear when I'm turning left. I got back there and could feel some looseness/clunk in the left side sway bar link, so I took them both out, drove it around with the sway links off and the noise was totally gone. I figured that must be it, so I replaced them on both sides as well as the bushings, tightened it all back up real tight and the noise came back. There's no rust around the links or bushings or anything. Again, the only way I can really reproduce the noise is when turning left. It's quiet on right turns and the noise is gone when links are disconnected.

Any idea on what I might go after next?
Thanks

Well, since no one is here... no one will mind if I get naked...................... ahhh, that's better. Nothing like sitting naked in an empty forum. Reminds me of college. Yep.

Now doesn't that feel better?

You'd get responses if you joined the Facebook group; not many on here anymore. What exactly did you replace - the end link bushings? You sure it's not the rear left wheel bearings? Otherwise, it's gotta be another of the bushings, I would think, if nothing's loose.
