Default Horrid noise
Got a real horrid clonking noise coming from the rear end of my saff when swinging it round corners? Would the rear beam bushes cause this?

Get the car jacked up and check all the bushes. Check the rear diff mount and the prop shaft uj.s.

Cvs would do it every time I turn, I've only noticed it if I really swing it round a corner, could be diff mount as its starting to float a bit when cornering?

Get a poly diff mount on then go out and chuck the car about and you will notice the difference.
