Default Clunking noise from rear

The only time I notice the clunk is when I am going slow on a paved road with small bumps. As I go over the bump, there is a distinct mid-pitch clunk coming from the left rear wheel area. Any ideas?

I'm not sure for a Corvette, but I had a similar problem in a different type of car. The spare tire was low on air and rattling around inside the brace. Pull down your spare and make sure it's inflated perhaps?

If that's not it, I have no idea. I hope that helps.

Probably a loose shock mount if its related to road bumps. Or a loose bolt somewhere.
