clunk in rear..suspected diff mount?

Short and quick;

When i turn hard to the RIGHT, it feels like there is something that goes from the middle of the car to the left wheel and clunks against the left wheel.

Im thinkin diff mount, and if it is..im going to cry

I have a similiar sound and have read it might be a bushing. Although I can't find where I read that or what exact bushing it is, I would check that first. I was actually going to post my clunking today, but thought I would wait and search for that damm page that had it.

If someone knows the bushing that I am talking about, could you point me to a urethane replacement. I have the feeling darkwaveboi, might need it too.

After I upgraded my stock bushings to Energy Suspension bushings I noticed the rear sway bar kept unbolting itself. I guess the new bushings were too wide or somethings. My clunking sound was the swaybar smacking part of the wheelwell.

If you think its just a buching then summitracing has a decent set for under 100 bux.

it *might* be my rear sway bar. I had my rear bearings replaced the other day and a complete rear end inspection. Im takin it back in this week for the guy to look at for free and all, so i'll let you know if i find out what it is.

you would know its the diff. it sounds like someone is pounding on the floor with a blunt instrument (the diff) when you step on the gas
