That type of noise from the rear end, that changes sound when turning, is usually an indicator of bad rear axle gears.You should have it checked out. They do go bad if they are run without proper gear oil.

I have a 2003 GMC Yukon SLT 2WD. I am getting a clattering noise while slowing down. The slower I go the slower the clattering. When it first started, it would go away as soon as you press the...

Two possibilities come to mind with his type of noise and they both require attention NOW! To check the vehicle park on a level surface with the vehicle off and in park (you may need help). Slide under the vehicle ahead of the rear tire so you can see the connection of the driveshaft to the rear end. Then rock the vehicle back and forth with the tire and look at the u-joint connection. If the rear end yoke is moving more than the driveshaft the u-joint needs replacing. If the joint is extremely bad you can sometimes grab the driveshaft and wiggle it. If the vehicle rocks back and forth and there is little or no movement in the drive shaft and you hear clunking in the rear end there can be serious trouble in the rear end. Either condition will require some mechanical skill to fix. I hope this helps.

1990 camaro Iroc z Clunking noise comeing from borg warner rear

Check your tranny mount sometimes the rubber part cracks and makes a clunking sound, also check your universal joints on the driveshaft if they are bad they will clunk, both are cheap fixes.

4x4 light and knocking noise after driving

If you hear the noise after the engine is turned off that noise is most likely the exhaust system cooling down. As far as the light for the 4 wheel drive that requires a test be run with a special scan tool while the problem is occurring.

Clunking noise in the rear of the vehicle is a broad statement. When is the vehicle doing it? Is it all the time or just over bumps? Is it happening only going around curves? Is it a constant bump that speeds up and slows down with the vehicle speed. You would be supprised how many clunking noises can come from the driveline not the suspension. It could be anything from a bushing to your rear differential getting ready to grenade.
