check the subframe bushings and the differential mount. both are rubber and wear out like the transmission mounts.


I have a clunking sound in the rear part of my car (89 325I). It only does it when I hit the accelerator hard or let off of it quickly. It is not a continuous clunking but it just happens once at hard accelerating or decelerating. My car is an automatic. I just replaced the transmission mounts and that didn't help. I have a new center bearing and guibo that I am waiting to install until I know for sure where the sound is coming from. It almost sounds like the whole differential is shifting when I torque the drive shaft but everything is tight and secure there. Any advice would be much appreciated.
