Re: MY 2001 SABLE MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN I STOP...
Let's start with the obvious one: junk moving in the trunk. Check that
Next check for loose parts:rear bumper, hood, silencer, taillights, even a hubcap Worst case: a suspension bush is worn out.

Check drive shaft assembly for worn u-joints.if OK check for worn pinion bearings or loose pinion nut.This can all be check shaking drive shaft at each end and looking for slop in u-joints or pinion flange.
Is the popping and clunking coming from the rear end? If it is, you might try and find a new shop, a well reputable one. I believe there is a friction modifier you can put in the rear ends to help. If the noise is coming from the front end, could be a ball joint, tie rod end, idler arm, pitman arm, control arm bushings wearing out. I would recommend finding a different shop you can trust and you take them on the test drive so you can duplicate the issue. Good luck.
Check your tranny mount sometimes the rubber part cracks and makes a clunking sound, also check your universal joints on the driveshaft if they are bad they will clunk, both are cheap fixes.
a clunking clanging noise sounds very much like your stabilizer bar end links and bushings. you have a thin rear "sway" bar on the rear of your odyssey. this can cause a whole lot of noise. grab each side and pull/push. if it feals loose, replace the end links and bushings.
May seem to be unrelated but, I had a similar problem with my last truck and it wound up being ball joints. It sounds similar, (especially the rocking forward after stop), might be something to check. If you're talking about a 4WD, it could be your transfer case.
