a graunch in the rear

Yesterday when turning right into an alley I heard a noise in the rear of the car, like something in the suspension was moving around. Moving at 10-15 mph. Never heard the noise before. Driving at normal speeds later in the day I didn't hear the noise. Turned left into our lane last evening, heard the noise. Backed out of the garage this morning, backing to my right. Noise. Pulled forward into the garage. Noise. Let the car drift (car in neutral) back out of the garage, turning to my right. No noise. Down the lane, steering quickly to left and right, like I'm on the pace lap trying to get some heat in the tires. Noise. Seems like the noise is coming from right side of the car. Put the car back in the garage.

I didn't have time to spend looking last night. I took a quick look at the sway bar bushings and end links with the car on the ground. Maybe a bushing, if I'm lucky. Nothing obvious.

Tranny mount? Trailing arm bushing? Thoughts?


Thanks.

check the torque on the eccentric nuts on the spring plate.
