Funny Clunk

hey guys, quick question. I have been hearing/feeling a funny clunk comming from the passenger rearend area on "aggressive" take offs from a dead stop, or when flooring it from a very slow roll (around 15-20 mph). I have looked under the car and don't see anything out of the ordinary, at least that i cant tell. Any ideas???

Re: Funny Clunk

Try pushing sideways on rear quarter panel to see if the noise comes back. If so then it could possible be the bushing in your panhand bar that has gone back. If not then put it on a lift and check out the parts underside. Could be a number of things.

Get it on a lift or some ramps and see if there is anything obviously lose. From what you describe it could be all sorts of things from simple to expensive.

If I were you I would also check the rear shock mounts inside the car.
