Default Clunking in the rear

I have a clunking noise in the drivers side rear of my 97 Cobra. When I start off it starts, and when I drive it, it stops. Getting worse over the past couple of days. Thoughts........

I have a 97 cobra and I too have cluncking in the rear. Everytime I take a sharp right at a very slow speed I hear a big clunck. Mine isnt getting worse though, it just happens when i do the above. Hope we figure this out. Later

Does it also do it when you let out the clutch in other gears under load (low rpms)?
