Rear clunking noise change of directions at low speed

teapain · 09-25-2015, 10:14 PM

I've recently started to experience a clunking noise from the rear whenever the car change direction and speed. Basically, whenever I accelerate, decelerate or change direction left/right. At first, I thought it was something in my trunk that was rolling around until I cleaned out my trunk.

Any thoughts on what it could possibly be or what to check for?

I did recently have Dinan springs installed but that was weeks ago, and this clunking noise is only last couple of days.

Thanks!

I had a clicking sound which ended up being a rear axle and the differential.

So i had spacers that werent the right hub size for the rear leading to hub ring on one of the spacers being cracked. Replaced with right size and all is good.

Apparently, the rear wheel hub is larger than the front so be careful!

I also had a problem with vibration at speed and brake as well due to the cracked spacer.
