A rear clunking sound in a 2002 Mercedes S500 could indicate several potential issues, such as worn or damaged rear suspension components, like bushings or shock absorbers. It may also be related to the driveshaft or differential, especially if the sound occurs during acceleration or deceleration. It's advisable to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle to diagnose the specific cause and prevent further damage. Regular maintenance can help identify these issues before they become significant problems.
Probably the U-joints.

CHECK THE EXHAUST.MINE WAS HITTING THE BODY AT BOTTOM OF REAR FENDER
Check the shocks and the suspension components. You might have a bad bushing on the sway bar, shock or elsewhere. The 1997 Chevy Cavalier has struts instead of shocks in the rear-end, so you would need to replace those. Also while replacing the struts you might want to consider alingment for both the rear and front because if the car has been making this sound for a long period of time it will be out of aline. My cavalier had the same problem, but both struts were bad.
