Hey guys this has been going on for a while and its bothering me a lot..Whenever I am making a right or left hand turn and im getting on it or whenever i get on it in a straight line from a dead stop, I'm getting this loud Rattling/ Knocking Sound coming from what sounds like the right rear of the car..It almost sounds like it could be my exhaust pipe rattling against something but that isn't it because my exhaust pipe rattle every once in a while and i know what that sounds like.

Any ideas?? It only happens when the rear end is under load and planted into the street.

Thanks...

I dont know. It's loud though and when it happens its consistent until there is less load on the axles

Could be a torque box issue too, especially with you saying that it happens when you get on it in a straight line.

you should try adding a tube of friction modifier to your rear, sounds like your trac lock might be taking a crap. usually you will hear it more on turns than on straight away driving, but i have heard them clunk on staight shots.

could also be the exhaust came loose. best thing is to get under there, look around, and shake things by hand.

yep that's what happen to me a few years ago. i thought my rear was going bad. ever time i hooked a u turn or a hard turn. i would get a clunk or pop. got under the car and kicked the sway bar, and it moved. by hand it wouldn't, it would feel solid.

there's 2 bolts on each end about and inch and a half apart fom each other. and mine just happen to break in between the 2 bolts on the driver side. so it wasn't hanging or anything. and there was still one bolt holding that one side.

if that's your problem, its easy to remove and replace. it's only 4 bolts,i wish everything in my stang was that easy to replace. lol
