FYI I still have the noise, I bought some locking washers to see if that can help stop the clevis mount from moving. The noise doesn't happen all the time.. when the car is at speed (40mph+) it's usually not there. It's only at low speeds driving around neighborhood.. sometimes on bumpy surfaces where the rear get a bit bouncy that I start to hear the knocking.

I'm going to install the locking washers to see if that helps and report back.

If that doesn't work I'm going to see if replacing the bearing/spacers/bolt at the top of the shock/clevis mount will help.
