i keep hearing clunking noises in the back right hand side of my car...i went to the mechanic to see if it had anything with the fact that i just had new shocks installed...told me i had a broken hanger on my flowmasters..took it to the muffler shop..they replaced both of my hangers and put on a new collector gasket...still have the clunking noise and its worrying me...they told me its possible it could be a bad ball joint

nobody is telling me WHAT it is..only what it MIGHT be
Time to find another repair shop.
The mechanic should take your car for a test ride to determine what is going on.
Anyone can guess, sounds like these guys are lazy or do not want your business.

It does sound like your exhaust might be hitting somewhere, very easy to determine.
Front end noise would probably be coming from, you guessed it, the front of the car..

Good luck
