Default mysterious clunking noise from the rear

When I turn or go over bumps I hear a "clunk" come from the rear of my 2000 Accord LX coupe. I have read that a common problem involves the rear swaybar endlink, but I didn't see anything noticeably wrong with that. Nothing was detached or looked out of the ordinary, but then again I'm no technician.

Any ideas on what this might be?

The car is completely stock. It seems like the noise is coming from the driver's side rear, but I'm not totally certain. No problems with the handling, only some body roll but I think it was like that when I bought the car a year ago.

lube up your sway bar frame mount bushings with grease. Also lube up your sway bar end link bushings with some silicone.
