    low speed rear clunking

    I'm getting a noticable rear clunking when I'm turning slowly to the left or right. It only happens when I'm turning, and from what I can tell it only happens when I'm at low, parking lot speeds. Possible it happens at higher speeds, but I've never heard it. I recently swapped suspension. Thoughts?

              my brother's axles had some loose screws... i don't know what those things are called.. they're sitting in a circular pattern just off the differential output shafts

                clunking during right hand turns eh? i had the same problem. check your CSB (center diff bearing/bushing) or it could also be your cv joint in the rear axle in which case you might as well buy a new axle. its an easy job, at least a lot less tedious than the csb. good luck keep us informed

                  Do you have a LSD? My wifes e36 (3.23 LSD) makes clunking noises sometimes while turning at low speeds.
