15k miles; auto; babied. She's (or is it HE) my first one. I'm not worthy! Bought her last August.
From day 1 I've noticed a funny clunk-type noise (not so severe) from the rear each time I slightly give her a little throttle coming out of the corner. Typically, I've slowed down to about 15 - 20 mph when this happens. I hear this (and kind of feel it) with either right or left-hand turns. It reminds me of the clunk I used to get when shifting my '86 Monte Carlo SS from Park, through Neutral to Drive, while standing still. I was told that was a little drive-shaft play and not to worry about it. It never got better or worse over 160K mi.
I can reproduce the noise if I hit the throttle, and then let up, and then hit her again (all at no more than 15 - 25 mph). The slight clunk appears immediately after I give her throttle after letting off a bit. If I'm over 25 mph, or so, I can give it all the "goosing" I can without the noise. Also, if I floor it off the line.....no noise!
Do any of you boy or girl racers out there have any ideas?
