New to the mustang scene
Hey everyone. My name is Aaron and i just bought my first mustang. its a 2013 v6 base model. ive had it for a few weeks now and love it. Normally i would get a six speed since my last 3 cars were, but my girlfriend drives this a lot and cant drive a stick.
However when im coming to a stop and dont completely stop and accelerate i always hear a clunk from the back? can anyone tell me what that is? Thanks
also here is my old car

Anyone know what that clunking noise could be?

Sounds like your spare tire banging around?

Do the new Mustangs have a 2 piece driveshaft? If so, I get it too, and it's the driveshaft. A 1 piece will fix that, but it's nothing to worry about.

Maybe it's time to finally dispose of the body of that dead hooker you've been hauling around back there, huh?
In all seriousness, it's probably the play in the drivetrain with the 2 piece driveshaft. Nothing new there.
Oh, and welcome to the board.
