2006 lexus ls 350 Rear subframe bushings

I have been hearing a clunking noise from the rear when I hit a bump just the right way.
Ask a mechanic to check it and he said the Subframe bushing look very bad.

Has anyone checked theirs? or replaced?

Those are the differential bushings. You can find some upgraded ones to polyurethane. I'm not sure if your looking into that option.

Clunking noises are the worst... they could be from anything. I'd suggest checking all suspension parts and bushings first since you've stated it happens when you hit a bump
