Default Clunk sound

A single clunk sound is coming from the rear driver side wheel well area. It only happens when taking off slowly and makes one loud clunk. Originally I thought it was something with the suspension replaced a few pieces but it's still there took the car to a mechanic and he was unable to find anything said that he tightened things and looked everywhere anyone else have any experience with this. It also has a new wheel bearing already on this side

What year is your car? There was a TSB for early cars, for low-speed rear-end clunks. I believe it was related to bushings.

I don’t think this one describes your situation.

We had an intermittent rear CLUNK for over a year on our '14.

Then one day, we found a cover for the rear coil spring on the floor of our garage! It is a discolored clear tube that fits around the coil on top...you can barely see it.

I ordered a replacement spring isolator for a Honda coil spring. Told myself I would replace it at the next yearly service. But as a faithful member of the Procrastinators Society, I didn't 'get a round tuit'...I just sprayed some silicone/lithium grease up there.

LO AND BEHOLD, I haven't heard the CLUNK all winter! Good thing too, as I've been delaying sending the year's dues to the society....

Here's a picture of our car's droppings.

I have a 2021 F and had a similar sound. After a few days at the dealer, they found the problem. A broken axle. They replace it under warrantee.. The car only had 17,000 miles. They said it is rare but has happened in the past to the F types.

I have the exact same same clunk as 200mphBrian, it is only evident when when pull off with no or little gaspedal action like in traffic jam with stop and go.
If you accelerate like normal there is no clunk. it sounds to me like the left rear brake is sticking or not realising.
But i don't know how to test it everything looks fine and tight under the car.
Regards Harald.
