Hello,
After a misguided drive through a very bumpy road, the rear suspension has developed a very particular clunk. It seems to appear only when the car jerks forward at low speed. For example when rolling backwards and then accelerating forward the rear clunks. It sounds and feels that something is hitting the body in the rear. Also on tighter corners it feels as if the rear axle is loose from the body and moves from side to side independantly.
All bushings except the rear cross-member (the frame that mounts torque rods, don't know the actual name) ones that bolt to the body have been recently replaced. Pan-hard is adjustable with poly bushings. The sound only appears on lateral movement (bumps don't produce any sound)
I went under the car to try checking bushings for play with a crowbar, but couldn't find any play.
Does anybody have any suggestions where the issue could be?
Car is 1990 940 sedan with G80 locker, slightly lowered. Driveshaft center bearing has been recently replaced and is raised to even out the driveshaft from lowering the car.
