Clunk noise when I run over a bump Guys, I'm hearing a clunking noise coming from the right rear of the car when I am turning while going over a bump especially, but sometimes when I just go over a bumpit clunks a little too. It is definitely not the rear end, I just replaced the gears and put on a girdle. It doesnt sound real real bad, but I am slightly worried. Also I just put on hotchkis springs with bilstein shocks. Any ideas? Bushings look ok, but maybe I broke one. Any info is appreciated. And I did check the search function without too much help so sorry if this question is redundant.

Check your exhaust where it goes over the axle for shiny spots, your exhaust pipe is probably being hit by the axle when the suspension compresses.
It could be the exhaust hanger are loose or the rubber inserts are worn-out, if you exhaust is stock and undamaged that's likely you problem. If you have a aftermarket exhaust the pipes probably need to be readjusted for maximum clearance, and possibly the exhaust hanger are loose and/or the rubber inserts are worn-out.

Hello
Are you running a aftermarket rear end? And what all suspension modification are done to the vehicle? Because when the following are installed in a lowered vehicle you will have clearance issues with a torque arm mount (They are much more beefier and solid). That is just something else to think about. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks

I just installed long tube headers. The suspension on the car is Hotchkis springs with Bilstein shocks. The rear end is stock, but with a girdle.

It's the stupid *** torque arm so I guess I just need to go ahead and spring for an aftermarket one. Any suggestions on which one I should get?
