Yes big B. Had the same problem. Almost a clicking sound. Turns out it was my end links. I got them replaced with new end links and no problems. Only problem is I think i'll have the same sound again after some time. I shoudl have just gotten upgraded end links and will do that next time.

I got the OEM end links again which you can get at the dealer. I just got it installed by Justin at Infiniti of Tysons. He'll hook you up. However to me it sounded like the rear axle click exactly. Thats what i took my car in for but they said it was my sway bar end links which they replaced and no more sound. Not sure what you mean by 'clunking' but mine sounded just like the rear axle.

B, didn't we break or strip a bolt when we did you rear sway? That might mean one of the bolt holding the sway to the frame is loose or fell out, which might cause a rattling sound whenever the sway hit the frame. Other than that, it's probably one of the end link like Pratik said. Try to jack it up with a flash light and check the end link bolts along with the the 2 center mounts that hold the sway in place to see if any bolt is loose or missing. I fear it's the bolt we stripped, meaning it wasn't able to get put back on tighten enough. Just a thought. Let me know if you want to check it out in my garage.

It's probably the bolts or the nuts like khoa said, just go to his house and check it out. There's not need to drive all the way to my house.
