Q: Suspension in left rear lower and clucking

asked by on October 29, 2016

I drive a 2004 saturn l300 2.2l. It has over 300000 miles on the car. I have noticed that when I drive or a bump or hit the brakes that it making a clucking sound from the driver side rear of car. And it's sitting lower on that side to. I think it might be the trailing are bushings. Do you have any idea what is wrong with my car? And if so how much it can cost to fix. THANKS Joey
