Default IS F 2013 Rattle to Clunk Noise

Hey Guys,

I've looked under the car as much as possible and I can't for the life of me find where this noise is coming from. It started with a high pitch rattle of when I go through speed bumps or road pot holes, it then quit the rattle. A clunk noise appeared right after, I guess the rattle became super loose (what ever it is) and is now a clunk noise. Same, happens on road pot holes especially when I use my brakes.

Front struts have been replaced, Rear once are still the originals (but everything looks good).

what gives, any thoughts?

Check the rear differential bushings.

Spare Jack: Done, Not it! (Thanks)
Doors: Done, Not it! (Thanks)
DIff Bushings: Looked but might need to take a better look, Will Follow Up. (Thanks)

btw: Does anyone know if the power steering column suppose to have a bit of left\right play when the car is off or is it supposed to be solid non-moving when the car is off?

What is a bit? There's some slack in it, but not much.

ok so I have not been able to identify where the clunk noise is coming from but it diffidently has to do with the suspension (front, rear who knows )!!

What if anything is this kit missing in regards to suspension and or bushings?
https://shopfigs.com/v5/by-vehicle/c...-3GS-ISF/G1152
This is just kind of the right "thing"\kit for people like me that can do the job but would take hours on researching (and perhaps miss items) for "all" the bushings - Thanks "ShopFigs"!

Possible Missing from Kit:
1. Engine Mounts?
2. ?
3. ?

Sounds like exhaust or heat shield you don't need all the bushes for a noise if you replace them you better have a press handy cheers

Check all sway bar endlinks. There should be no play in the sway bars. Also, I had my front upper control arm bushings make noise before.
