slight nock upon pressing gas

hey guys, something has been happening recently (well, since i bought the car im assuming, but it was one of those things that you dont notice untill you can really feel the car), and that is that when i am in low rpm (low enough to almost stall) and i press the gas, my car bucks a little (not the problem) and makes a little nock as soon as my car jolts forward.

any ideaS?

its a very slight nock, but enough to give you the feeling something is loosE?


anyways, thanks alot

not a engine nock..
more like a suspension clunk...

im not a seasoned mechanic, but to me it sounds like a rear end mount, or somehting along those lines... i know it could be many things, but im wondering if there is any common problems with the rx7, that may compair to mine so i could look their first.

Take a look at your rear diff mount, your camber links, driveshaft u-joint, and your half-shaft joints for play.
