Re: GC - Clunk in the Trunk
 

Thx Doug. I'll check it out. The car seems well suspended so it
wouldn't suprise me if the problem was something loose.

I had one that drove me nuts. Finally spotted it by noticing the bottom
of the exhaust was just a bit shiny where it curved up over the rear

Sounded just like a loose shock mount.

I had the same problem, once I dumped the body, the clunk in the trunk was
gone.
