What could this clunking be? I just removed my EGR and Air pump systems yesterday I drove the car to work and it was fine (I work midnites) and so when I got in it this morning everything was just fine and then a few miles down the road I start to here a slight rattle and then WHAM the car starts shaking and vibrating and making this EXTREMELY loud continous clunking noise when I press and hold the gas. I finally got it home and its on jack stands right now I put it in gear and got underneath the car it kind of sounds like its comming from the driveshaft though, but im not sure. I have fluid in the rear(although its very nasty and has a burnt smell to it I think ill change it 2day) and the torque arm bushing looks very old.What do you guys think any suggestions on what could be wrong? I could REALLy use the help right now. thanks

well I replaced the tq arm but one bolt wont go in ill do that 2morrow (have to go to work
) BUT the driveshaft has ALOT of play in it. Could that be the u-joints or something else. I have quite alot of fluid leakage from the from seal on the rear and a decent amount of leagage by the rear seal of the tranny. What do you guys think? Could it be rear-end problems?
