Solid Mount guys inside last winter I put in a solid mount torque arm (body mount)
I made my own LCA's with solid mounts also. Only thing with bushings is one end of the panrod (other end is solid)
Also, no carpet in the car, so things are louder, but people are hearing my "clunk" from outside of the car.
SO, when change directions, Rev to 1st, etc, it clunks LOUD.
Hell, even when I shift, it'll clunk
Normal for solid mounts? Something I should look for?

It's all solid.
I think the cause might be the very slight differences between the ID of the rod ends to the size of the bolts. That little bit of difference might be enough to cause the "clunk"

I think I remember I couldn't use a larger bolt on one section and I DID make spacers to fit in
Wasn't press fit, but it WAS tight. (just turned on the light bulb)
Will that still cause a loud "clunk"?
What else do I need to check?

it could be the rear end itself,
my rear will make a "clunking" sound if i push the rear wheels sideways.
my theory is it`s because of the c-clips.
it has always done this, annoying but nothing has broken yet.

Is that the clunk? I never heard/felt it before until I went to solid mounts on everything
Yeah the Detroit Locker is infamous for being a clunky biatch... My buddy has one in his car and I will never have one because of it. I would much rather have a spool. The whole shifting and clunk/locking and unlocking of the rear is almost too much to handle... When the locker loads and unloads is when it locks and unlocks, causing a clunk or thumping sound.
