Default suspension clanking in the rear

It clanks over bumps and its pretty annoying, Im thinking it could be bushings but not sure. Its a 99.5 1.8t with 145K on it, front suspension was just done. Any ideas?

Check your rear springs - mine were both broken and I was getting a similar noise. Changed them out and no more noise.
