Hey guys,

I was driving today and my rear end is now jerking when I switch gears or when I hit the gas. It is distinct thunk sound every time. Is this generally a striped rear end or what?

 

differential mount??

 

Spare Tire.. took me a year to figure it out but that thing was thunking in the back ... wasnt held on by much anything.. Im glad I took it out.

 

yeah, my spare tire used to rattle around but i tightened down the screw that holds it in there and no more noise from the back

 

Mine came with no spare and after I purchased one I made sure it was held in good. Had a noise from the rear, so I checked it again, it was in tight. For some reason my drain hose was gone for the hatch on the left rear and when replacing that I realized the old antenna was just left laying in the fender well. DUH! Removed and noise gone. My antenna had been replaced with a non-electric one, but I had no idea whoever did it just left the old one there. Pretty stupid I thought!
