Clunk coming from right rear?

So, I had some noise coming from the right rear and replaced one bad pillowball and some other parts with a bit of play. But I still have a loud clunk coming from that area.

It happens during sharp turns and some shifts. It's much worse when I doing a burnout.

I don't think it's the pillowballs since there's no play in the suspension.

Could I have one bad diff mount? Or could it be the half-shaft?

on mine the RB muffler used to move and hit the body on left turns.. could also be a sway bar moving around, the aftermarket ones do that

if you haven't yet, its also mandatory to get under a "new to you" car and just make sure everything is tight

I had this exact same clunking problem with the RB muffler.

I think one of the bolts connecting the diff to the PPF was loose.
