Oscillating clunk from rear end

[funcrew]

When I'm at low RPM and low load, like rolling 10mph in traffic, slight throttle-on/throttle-off inputs cause a nasty clunk in the rear end. If I'm right at that wishy-washy place in between throttle on and throttle off, it sets up an alarming clunk/clank-clunk/clank etc. oscillation for a few seconds. Never happens under heavy acceleration or deceleration, or at high speed or RPM.

LSD diff works smooth and silent, no internal problems.

So what do you think - differential bushing? Something else?

It could be anything in the rear suspension or drive train. Get the car up in the air and carefully inspect everything for wear/play.

I have the same prob i think it is my rear sub bushing

[Wh33lhop]

If I were you I'd inspect all your bushings back there.

So essentially the answer is that there's nothing wrong that couldn't be fixed by the skillful application of a high limit credit card?

I have the same problem.

If you can do it yourself, and this seems like a classic case of bad rear subframe bushings, you could do this repair for about $100-$150. Then add in for all the beer.

The problem in my car turned out to be backed out LSD bolts, and the clunking was the ring/pinion chewing on the bolts. Until one bolt head finally became embedded in one of the gear teeth and the clunking became epic, there were no real symptoms - LSD worked fine, wheels spun smooth...

Can you please explain more?
I know I m a bit technically challenged but this clunk is happening to my car too,
even though it doesnt have to do with the lsd or the old diff I had in the car.
After the swap it remained the same.After the guibo change still its there.
I know,old thread,but...:!:

Jack up the rear end, pull off the wheels, and inspect everything. Theres a good chance you will be able to find it. Also make sure your lugs are tight, a few times after taking off and putting back on the wheels the bolts need to be retorqued. First few times ive taken my wheels off i was dumb enough to completely forget to tighten them back up in the first place, scary.

LOL Last night I tested by reaching Vmax! An astonishing 205km/h and thats with a 4.27 and a mighty M10! :D:up:
Not a lot of vibration or noise even at that speed.
Now,all I need is to get sure my wheels bolts are tightened! :p
