Rear end clunking...

Rear end clunking...
Alright, I know there have been threads about clunking in the rear end, but I've searched the entire Suspension tech area and can't find the help I'm looking for...
I'm getting clunking in the rear going around turns with road imperfections/ turns with bumps or dips. Both sides, random times. I've taken apart the entire rear and put it all back together and re-tightened everything. I added some big thin rubber washers in with the spring mounts (on oem style coils), but this did nothing. I'm lowered to zero wheel gap on the coils. The coils are new also so it's not the dampener. I feel like it could be bushings, but not sure which ones.... I also think it could be my rear end-links, but don't know how I could determine this without going ahead and replacing them. I assume it's a fairly costly job replacing all of the rear bushings and I'd definitely do it myself, but I don't have all of the tools to do the job and I hear it's a major beeotch to get the bushings in and out...
I know this is fairly vague, but was wondering if anyone could ask me some questions to help diagnose where the clunking is happening on both sides.
Also, if this was covered and I missed it somehow then my apologies in advance.
Thanks for the help folks,
Matt

Sort of bringing this back from the dead, but this help fix your problem? I have the same clunking coming from both sides. All my bushings look good and I don't think it is my struts (don't have external leaks or anything). I do have stillen sways all around so I am thinking it is the end links. Did your endlinks look busted? thanks in advance
