First check the rear hatch!
You can adjust the locking mechanism down and/or put electrical tape where the lock connects around.
If it is not this then jack the car up, with the wheels off the ground and rock the wheel to see if you can reproduce the clunk.
If you do put your hand on the different suspension parts and you should be able to feel which one.
I would guess the most probable would be
Diff mounts
trailing arms
toe links
top mounts

Bushes are each, the diff & toe links are priced for what you need.
You can get aftermarket trailing arms aswell as the toe links I mentioned these are about £350- 400 a set + customs.
Dragon (Ross) should be able to get them or JTimports on this forum aswell(japan), let me know if you use jt as I may order something aswell, so we can save shipping.
