What's that clunking noise back there?! 200 1983

Denny,

A few things I considered when trying to track down a similar noise (turned out to be U-joints in my case):

- Exhaust pipe hitting rear axle tube (maybe new bushings changed clearance between the two)

- Exhaust system in general - shake it hard, see what happens

- Bad transmission mount

- Bad/loose rear shock

- Loose rear brake caliper, or seized piston causing retracted pad to rattle

- Crap banging around in trunk

- Bad center support bearing/assembly

I found it helpful to try to identify the nature/tone of the noise, and the circumstances when it occurs. Then try to visualize which components could possibly be responsible. Good luck!

Simon
