What causes rear suspension to clunk when making tight turns?
If the car is turning circles on a paved surface such as a mall shopping center lot, and clunking, I tend to doubt (but not absolutely eliminate) the swaybar links being the cause. What is happening at the rear suspension (accepting at this point that this is where it’s coming from) when making tight turns?
Why does my rear axle make noise when I turn?
Although rare, a rear axle CV joint will make noise at all times, not just when turning, because there’s no change in the CV angle when turning. (It’s different on the front, where the angle at the outer joints change with the steering angle.)
Where does the clunk sound come from when making a left turn?
It does it most of the time in a right turn and sounds like it is coming from the right rear of the vehicle. However, it has occasionally made this sound while making a left turn, just not as much. I have had a new set of tires and the right rear wheel bearing hub assembly replaced.
What to do when your car clunks while turning?
If the car is an automatic, use the AWD disabling fuse to turn off the AWD. (The AWD warning light should come on in the instrument panel.) Then do some tight turns and see if the clunking is still there. If the clutch is released, there should be no build up of torque.
When do I hear a clunk from my rear axle?
Clunk from rear axle/side to side movement. Hello. Recently in the past week or so I’ve noticed a clunk coming from my rear end when I’m cornering or going over bumps in the road or uneven pavement. If i shake the truck box I can replicate the sound, and it sounds as if the rear axle is moving side to side.

Why does my rear differential make a clunking noise?
If the pinion bearings are the problem, they create more of a whirring noise than a rumble because it turns several times faster than the carrier assembly. Regular clunking every few feet can also be an indicator of a broken pinion gear and/or chipped and damaged ring gear.
Why is my rear differential Howling under acceleration?
Howling under acceleration at various speeds, however, indicates that the gears are already worn out or are out of alignment or depth with each other. If rear differential noise occurs while accelerating the car only at a certain speed, it is likely because the gears have become worn due to overloading and lubrication failure.
