Rear clunk when rolling reverse to a stop ?

2009, 55k miles, lowered on H&R coilovers since 15k miles.

When I roll out of my garage in reverse and come to a slow stop I feel/hear a clunk coming from the back of my ride, mostly from the driver's side rear tire/suspension but possibly both rear tire wells.

Also when going over uneven pavement from left to right or some speedbumps I get a similar clunk (kind of causes the body to sway). No issues on braking.

I know the differential is pretty broad, but anything in particular stands out as t what I should look at first. Car drives well in every other way.

Thanks !

Sounds similar to issues i was having except mine was accelerating from a stop, never tried reverse but it was basically when more load was going onto the rear suspension i got a pop/clunk from one wheel well.....getting the shocks swapped out now

Id take it to a shop to look at and hopefully its just the shocks, which since they have more stress with your lowering springs might be it

I would check your sway bar mounts and links as well. May be the springs moving on their perches as well.

Slow Vehicle
I am getting the same problem, although once I installed my winters on it stopped... I don't know why it stopped but I am also wondering why it was making these odd sounds during reverse or even while slowing down at low speeds.
