The other thing I can think of is something is going on inside the differential. Since it doesn't do it when it's jacked up, the only other suggestion would be if you have a friend at an oil change shop. They have those pits you drive over and a guy is inside the pit underneath the car. See if they're willing to let you or somebody drive it back and forth while somebody's under there listening. The problem with that is that there's the damn plate underneath that covers everything up. I don't recommend driving that car with that thing off, as it's also a structural part.

elac had me doing something like that, he said raise the rear of the car and put it in reverse and forward. I did it but the sound was not there doing that. Sometimes doing a left turn at low speed the clunking sound reappear but much less apparent, it seems to be related to something in the suspension.

It could be a loose suspension or frame part that flexes under the change in load force. Or it could be something in the diff. |

Could it be a ball joint? It's a 2002, so after 23 years, maybe the grease in the boot of a ball joint has dried out, and it begins to make a clunking sound, metal on metal, like mine. Anyone has experience that?

That's too bad. Were they able to replicate the noise, at least? How well does your e-brake hold? Have you tried going into reverse with the e-brake on, just to put load on it, but not to actually move? If it still makes the noise, you can rule out anything rotational, and concentrate on frame/suspension. What could be happening is that the load shift going into reverse is causing some movement somewhere. It could be a loose subframe, suspension link, or even a crack in the frame. |
