My Chevy malibu has this weird clunking or rattling noise when it's on slow speed, and gets louder when it gets faster. I changed the rear shock absorbers and both knuckles, but there are still noises. Nothing else looks too loose or broken so at this point, I have no clue what to do. anyone have suggestions?

I had a similar noise in my car. it turned out to be a worn out sway bar link. maybe check that in chevy malibu.
 
thanks @SolarNinjaX for the suggestion man, I would check the sway bar link later. although now I'm kind of suspecting that it got something to do with the ball joint, BCS I only heard it when turning
