    Default Rear Diff Thunk?

    I was wondering if anybody could help me out with this. When i accelerate and car gears up (auto) i get this huge thunk in the rear. It seems more prominent accelerating slowly. Anybody know wat it is? Also wen i go round a corner and the weight of the car is leaning over a bit, its not lowered, i get this terrible loud banging from the rear also, it sounds like the wheels are gonna come off. Any help in either department would be appreciated

    Your diff might be toast? Is it a Minny spool?

    Not unless my grandparents (the previous owners) went crazy in it. This thing has never been revved over 3 before me. However they did tow stuff??
    Also i know i said the noise is coming from the back but could it be the transmission cause im not even 80% sure where abouts its coming from?

    My car was used to tow, 3 things are now wrong in it's older 300,000km age.
    Tranny Tailshaft diff. Tranny replaced in February, tailshaft last month, Diff has got some life left in it but does have some play, Start from tranny and work your way back.
    Best thing is to see someone about it if your short get them to look at it first and tell you what they think at no cost.
