Clunking Noise from rear, suggestions?
Hello, my 86 IROC has some sort of clunking noise when the car moves side to side. By that,i mean if i was to push it from the rear side panel and rock it, it makes a clunking noise from rear end. Is this safe? Anything i should worry about?
Thanks

They all do that.
It's the axles sliding in and out of the rear end.
As long as they don't move more than an eighth of an inch or so, it's normal.
