Clunking noise over bumps

There is some clunking noise on my Xjr from back at the left side when I drive over bumps, what can be the cause of this ?

Sounds like shock dampers disintegrated and that pushes too easy, shocks are probably bad also.

Btw...are those 35's on those wheels? That'll intensify the ride with those shorts sidewalls.

Do I have to replace the schocks on both sides or is it ok to replace only one side ? Can I replace the schocks at the back with regular without adaptive and still have the adaptive at the front ?

This is Jaguar's policy on damper replacement (warranty recommendation).

The adaptive dampers all work as a system. I would advise keeping all or replacing all with same type.
