I have a clunk coming from my rear beam if I hit a bump in the road and sonetimes when I come off speed bumps the cars 60mm lowered all round but it's suddenly doing it also i think the nearside bush on the anti roll bar is knackered as wheel has a bit of camber but offside doesn't? Anyone help with this?

If its a bottle clonk like noise its the arb end plates. Mine started doing it the other week.

How do you fix the issue? Is it possible to do it myself or is it a garage job?

That's one possibility
Mine makes a clonk when going over bumps and my axle is fine.
Remove the ARB end place and replace them.
Use some loctite on the new ones and do them up tight, without overtightening.
Could also be the dampers or even shot bushes.
