Default Knocking in rear suspension

Sup,

I have a 95 Si on which the previous owner had Tokico blue shocks and matching springs. Whenever I go over bumps, it sounds like the rear of the car has metal in the bare trunk bouncing around! A lot of clunk, clunk from both sides. The trunk is stripped to the metal so no loose panels or anything.

Now I have had the entire rear suspension replaced (all control arms, trailing arms etc ) and I have the Energy Suspension HyperFlex kit installed inlcluding the trailing arm bushings. This occurred on the old suspension parts and the new ones. The only thing that was not replaced were the shocks and springs as I figured they were good. The ride is fine and the shocks are non adjustable so....

Does anyone else have this problem with their rear set up. I tried this and it did not help either.

I know you said you had the whole suspension replaced, but are you sure about the upper rear control arms?? Those balljoints fail and knock all the time!

They were replaced as well and all of the joints were check out and regreased and rebooted.

This noise was on the old and is still on the new set up.

Good thought though, never would have considered the joints.
