FD rear shaking/clunking noise

Hey guys I’ve searched Google and the forum about what could be my problem I’m having with my 96 FD. Whenever I pull out of a parking spot or do any turns while moving slow the rear of my car clunks really bad and shakes bad almost like a wheel is very loose and barely hanging on. I’ve read that it could be the pillow ***** but would those being bad cause this very bad shaking and clunking?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

since it only does it when turning, sounds like a problem with the rear differential/spider gears.

Or a bushing the upper or lower control arms that has REALLY failed. You’re going to have to put it on jack stands and get under there with a good light and thoroughly look around. Make sure the car is stable and have someone try to rock the wheels back and forth, and use a big pry bar to put load on the suspension while you’re underneath watching.
