    Clunking sound coming from rear on right turns.

    i've noticed for a while now, a clunking sound coming from the left rear when i take reasonably hard right turns, or fast right sweepers. it seems to be a wieght transfer issue that starts the clunking, but i can't decide what it is. I've been told the diff, but it was swapped out after this started happening for a 3.91lsd and it has continued. i've also been told it's the halfshaft. i haven't replaced that yet, but any other ideas on what this may be?

    check your rear shock mounts, and your subframe bushings.

      Had it happen to me, turned out to be the swap bar mount. Check to see if it has ripped out of the body. if so, your bar will bounce into the trunk floor on hard corners.
      The have reinforcements specifically for this problem if it has, in fact, ripped free.

          Could be the half shaft/CV axles. I blew one up before.
