Weird rear suspension noise?

Well my FD has some weird noise comign from the back suspension. It doesn't do it at first, it starts doing it a little later..and then just keeps getting worse. Well when at a stop and then giving it gas..just regular driving...it starts making this loud obnoxious vibration noise. Well, not really vibration but a weird metal noise. BTw the fd is an automatic. Mark at tripoint didn't take a good look at it but he said it might eb soemthing with the differential. Anyone expeirence this or have any ideas of what could be causing it? Thanks

no i have the clunking too, but its a different problem. Its doesn't matter if i'm going straight, on curve, over bump or anything. It always does it at same time..while starting to move slowly form a stop it will do the noise which sounds like a slow metal vibration .................................................. ............then when i hit 25-35mph it goes away. When braking the noise doesn't come back. Its only when i start up.

Check for broken or loose exhaust bracket. There should be two (2) on the rear cat and one (1) on the main cat/MP.
