88gxl clunk/vibration

Hi all, I'm new to the boards..

A short while after replacing the suspension and exhaust on the car, it started making a clunking noise (coming from the rear) when taking off. It also vibrates when I let off the gas with the clutch engaged.
I tried searching but couldnt find much so any help is appreciated.

Sounds like a busted differential mount, or possibly U-joint or driveshaft. Best bet would be differential mount, those breaking are pretty common. Give me a second Ill post a whole bunch of links that should help you out..
