Default Occasional Clunking Sound in Rear

lately I have noticed a clunk coming from the rear of the vehicle. It was usually happening when I turned left. I check the spare time and all of that stuff is secure. Could it be something in the suspension system, the vehicle is not even a year old yet?

It started after I had it at the dealer for an oil change. I can't imagine what, if anything, they did to cause this during an oil change? Anyway, it will definetly be going back to the dealer.

Well, the dealer has had it in their shop for a week now. They hear the noise but have yet to figure out what is causing it.

I've had occasional clunks from everywhere on all three of mine but have not actually managed to find something which is causing me a problem.

They called today to say they ordered a new electric parking brake motor. They are not sure this will fix the problem but they want to try it.

Well they replaced the parking brake motor, did not work. The Service Manager called and asked if I hit a pothole or something. He then infered that my Fabspeed secondary cat bypass pipes could be causing the problem (not sure where the exhaust system connects to the rear suspension system?). So then they called to say they ordered a new bearing for the right rear wheel.

It was the bearing, got her back today. They certainly invested a lot of labour in this process, glad I didn't have to pay for it.

They did find the parking brake actuator stuck in the intermediate position, and I would have never know.

An actual documented case of a muffler bearing failure....

... and all this time we thought that was just a joke.

I have been looking at the Fabspeed Cat Bypass Pipes for my '13 V6. What differences from stock have you noticed?

Thanks for replying!

I am not sure how they sound/perform on the V6, but I have been pleased with the sound, performance and gas milage with the V8.
