Driving my 96 850 wagon around today I experienced a sudden onset of a loud clunking noise in the right rear suspension. It seemed to happen when I went over a large bump, and now it clunks whenever I go over any bump. Handling seems pretty much unaffected. I've been on the interstate since, and it seems to drive OK at 65+, but it's clearly worrisome. Any thoughts at to what this is? Maybe a shock absorber gone south? Might this be unsafe? Do I need to get this fixed, like, TOMORROW, or can I wait a week or two? Any thoughts much appreciated.
