Christian: I once had that happened to me when about 35 years ago on my old 72 Pinto. Something to check is all of your springs to see if any of them have broke. The front coil spring broke on Pinto and would make this loud clunking noise everytime I turned or went over a bump. The spring didn't fall out because the shock absorber was in the middle of it. But look in the suspension area especially up at the very top of the spring. Also check the shocks to make sure that the nuts on top haven't come loose. Another item to check is to see if a rubber bushing at the top of the rear springs is missing. You should have one for each side.
