Rear suspension clunk

[PaulE]

I've got almost 84k miles on my car. I am occasionally hearing a clunk over bumps on the right front and right rear. Shocks, springs, sway bars and bushings have less than 30k miles on them, but coffin arms and trailing arms are still original. Handling is still fine, my car passes tech inspections for HPDEs and my independent shop says everything is fine (they didn't hear the clunk, it doesn't happen all the time). Should I have them changed or wait a bit?

If the car feels ok around the corners, and just makes some suspension noise and you can live with that noise, there is no urgent need to do anything, in my view.

My car handles just fine...just makes those annoying clunks...
