1979 300SD Turbo Diesel ... rear CLUNK when turning - 300SD_KY - 06-04-2011
2 days ago, i ran over something in the driveway ... and I heard a "creak".
This morning when driving around a bend/curve or turning at any speed, I hear a loud CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK ... sounds like the rear wheels would be coming off. But they are solid.
Nothing "hanging" or loose when I do a visual inspection.
Any help what went wrong much appreciated.

sounds like a bad rear CV Axel

check the sway bar end links. I broke one and it would rub the axle on a turn. That and the cv joints

my rims would rub on the front springs evry time i would jack up the car for any length of time . just barley and it was the weights hitting the spring.

nah it was lift , casing a rub on the top of the rim . it would contact above the bumpstop in the rear .when ever i get a rub thats not obvious i put a bunch of masking tape in the wells . this was with a set of 18x9 rears mandrus et was 42? fronts 18x8 et 37? never had probs in the front with these. the front spring contact was with a set of vw rim 17x7.5 et 32 i believe and just the edge of on of the wieghts that was on a bend . but the spring would settle past it after a day or 2. may car would sit on stand for at least a day at a time .springs scare the crap outta you when your banging a uturn.
