Default hard knocking

Alright I have a 95 t/a auto bone stock. The problem is when I hit it or accelerate to quick. It knocks hard in the rear passenger but I feel it in center console and passenger seat. I dont know what it could be. Anybody know what it could be. Thanx.

Sounds like it could be the front torque arm bushing.

These bushings are bad about getting oil on them and eventually failing.....

I know some of the 95's had the performace button. Do you have the performance button on the center console?

I have a 94 Formula with the performance button on the center console.
Mine would make a similar noise the very first time of hard acceleration in performance mode. It didn't do it when not in performance mode.
It was a bad rubber tranny mount. I switched to poly and it is stiffer but noisier. Since I didn't change the motor mounts to poly I am going back to a rubber tranny mount.
