Noise From Rear End...please help
Ok so when I turn my car hard to the right at low speeds ( LIKE NO GAS IN A PARKING LOT) I get a noticable clunk from my rear of my car....it seems also like i can feel it sometimes....but not always. I am running a stock 96 gt rear with stock gears. What are some possibiities this could be?????? PLEASE HELP>>>anything would be appreciated.

mine use to do the same thing, but it more sounded like it was from the front end, did my motor swap and it dissapeared........i don't see why ur rear would make a noise when ur turning, did u check to see if all ur lugs are tight on the back?

Check the fluid in your diff and if it's low, put some of the moddifier for posi/limited-slip rears in there to top it off. If you can see the leaks, replace the seals accordingly (pumpkin seal, axle seals, ect.). If the noise doesn't go away then you should look into rebuilding your rear and getting some gears.

The fluid seems to be good, I mean I pulled the plug on the top and got some on my fingers so its full.... it seems pretty bad....and there are no leaks... I mean driving it you would swear the rear end is sliding toward the passenger side.

Would a bad wheel bearing cause that popping.....I really dont understand those kind of things? I have no idea what it could be.....if it is that how could i check to see if it is bad? Also, can I fix it in my driveway without specialty tools? Is it expensive?

I was getting a screech...... a little one from there while i was going down the road a while back but it stopped when i would slightly press the brake...... could that be it...i was worried about a wheelbearing but i wasnt sure since it stopped when i hit the brake.
