Can you reproduce the noise by pressing down on the rear of the car?

It could be about anything.

Good luck.

that used to happen to me when i first bought my car...but it would happen at random times and not all the time. It went away at some point either after rear shocks or after a gear change. good luck man

I had a similar problem with my 87. I went to the track (the car never had a set of slicks on it - ever) and after the launch, I heard a pop and then every shift after that the car popped in the rear. I got down off the shut down and into the pits and looked under the car. I couldn't see anything but upon closer inspection when I got the car home, I found this:
