Default First Vette, C6 2012 GS Columbia, Missouri

Good morning friend, Thanks for the add to the forums. Love my vette and ready to have some fun. This car has a clunky noise sometimes on turns and hitting bumps on both sides of the car. The previous owner said he replaced shocks 3 months ago. Trying to self diagnose without taking to dealer. Someone mentioned end links? Searched threads on site but not sure if I didn't use the correct key words but didn't come up with forums. Any suggestions or directions would be appreciated.

Check sway bar end links.

I was getting a noise when hitting bumps and turning. Not so much a clunk as a loud squeak. Greasing the rear sway bar end links seems to have corrected it. They are the only two grease fitting on the car. They are located just inside the rear tires and are accessed from below. Having ramps or lifting the car would of made the job easier but I was able to manage without.
