clunking noise

Guys, I have a clunking noise. I am having a hard time narrowing down where it is coming from. Jacked her up, and took wheels off. Looked for anything loose... wiggled every thing I could. Cannot find it! Whatever it is, it seems to be getting looser. Seems to be on right side... pretty loud, and getting louder. Turning right, or even bumps now seem to cause it. Its a "CLUNK" sound.... sometime even will clunk more then once... like 3 times in a row. It's not the rear sway... I disconnected. it to test. Wheels are properly torqued... bushings all look intact. I just am at loss for what it could be? ANY idears? Some times it sounds like its towards the middle of the car, sometimes the right rear... .ugh!!!!

Does it matter if you're on or off the gas? On the brakes? Any other symptoms?

It does not matter if I am on or off the gas, or the brakes. It happens on bumps and more over right hand turns. Straight line on smooth road seems okay. It seems to have started right after I put new shocks, sway bars, brake pads, wheels and tires. However, all those have be checked, and REchecked... and they all seem good. But over time it has gotten worse. If you put your hand on the floor sometimes you can feel it. Sometimes I sounds like it's right under or in front of the shifter, and sometimes right rear. I just cannot place it!!!!

considering taking in to a stealership and give them some time to diagnose it! Don't want to hurt anything! I can personally hear it from over 200 feet away. It's getting louder.

Could be the several things but check the CV's in the rear. When CV's wear out they have a tendency to Click or clunk. It could also be in the rear diff (clutch packs). If you do take it to the dealer, take the Tech for a ride and point the noise out to him.
