Intermittent VERY LOUD clunk from the rear end.
Allright...
After I took my car to my mechanic to have my leaking fuel lines fixed, where he ended up finding a leaking brake line too, the fuel lines were just replaced by rubber tubes, but the brake line was cut and in the cut section a similarly shaped brake tube was installed and the tubes are joined. Good.. no leaks.. now the brakes even feel better. However, I noticed a really bad clunk right away especially when I make a right turn. I took the car back to him and he found nothing and we agreed to replace the shock absorbers (mine were leaking anyway). Shock absorbers replaced and I thought I heard the clunk again but I ignored it. I was on a downhill and suddenly heard it again.. It sounds like a spring hitting another metal because it makes some sort of echo. But it's definitely metal. So I hit an onramp harder (i know it's bad but I was pissed) and the sound just got really really bad. After that it kept making that noise... and in the garage it was so loud (I was just driving straight slowly) that people looked and wondered if my car blew up or something.... What do you guys think I'm looking at? Flex Discs? Half Shafts? (Oh no........big money) Differential? The rear swaybar links are in good shape and my mechanic put the car on a lift, put the tranny in Drive and the rear end was really quiet. The muffler hangers and bushings are also good. Rear Subframe bushings maybe? This is really getting on my nerves. I'm getting to a point where I just wanna take it to a dealer and trade it in for a Corolla or something... Any suggestions would be appreciated.. or just words to convince me to keep it.. ![]() Thanks -Holson-
