rear clunking in manual e34

[lchan]

when driving the car, slowly and applying light throttle off and on, you can hear the rear clunking away. Is this the rear sub-frame bush being worn or the rear axle gears worn over the years? anyone experience this and what did you change to remove this annoying thing?thanks..

mine had some clunking a while back. found out it was my bushings were wearing out. i sprayed some grease on them n d noise went away. my mech said still can b use so didnt change them. until 2day still ok.

well i fixed mine up at the mechanic and it was the drive shafts. Also changed the long shaft centre bearing (car was vibrating slightly at launch) and now the car is much nicer to drive.
