Question 2001 Lexus is300 help....

So I need some help, has anyone ever experienced an thumping sound when they hit a bump in the rear, it seems to just happen on the passenger side. I have new suspension I'm terribly stumped!

Oddly I've been hearing a thump too right after I put on my new suspension.

I've already checked the middle of the top hat. Guess I need to check sway bar next

A clunk when you hit bumps most likely points to your rear sway bar.

Default high hat?

You know I have new coilovers, ill check the sway bar however my mechanics seem to think that its the sub frame bushing, could that be the problem? I don't wanna seem like a retard but I'm a little new to the Lexus world!
