any ideas why my van is clunking from the left rear underside when that wheel either enters a driveway on an angle or turns a hard left corner?
all the shockie bushings look ok. leaf springs seems alright too.

I went over a speed bump going into a car park at about 5mph and everything in the back jumped. It was a an almost full 10l tub of magnolia emulsion it’s now an empty tub

Only knew because a woman pulled up next to me at traffic lights and said you’ve got paint pouring out the back of your van
