Rear End Metal Clank When Taking Off Quick From Standstill Read More:

[flipmode64]

Have had the rear end clank for a long time now, but now it is very loud and sounds brutal. If I am at a stand still and I jump on the gas the back end goes down and makes a metal clank.

I have replaced the rear sway bar bushings way back when that was supposed to be the cause. What should I be looking at now?

Thanks

sounds like the shocks are gone or the anto roll bar bushes

If it is the shocks then get the anti roll bar bushes done at the same time.. very cheap to buy the rubbers and easy to fit. Makes a difference!

Other than that check the strut bearing at the top of the strut.

You might check the sway barend links to see if their bushings are up to par. I had a vehicle that had the same rear end clunk on drive away that was traced back to the link rubbers on one side. Good Luck!

anit roll bushings, struts and mounts, and end links on the back end were replaced a year ago, but the noise was there before I had those changed. Now it has gotten even louder. What else could I check here?
