Clanking noise in the rear!! Options

[Bradley]

My 95 gt is making really loud banging noises... like somethings loose almost when I go over the slightest of bumps. The problem is especially bad at low speeds. Had the problem since I bought the car thinking it was a bad strut but never got around to replacing it. Since I've had the car 3 years or so I can notice it progressively worsening over time. Had a mechanic briefly look at it on the ground he said it didn't feel like shocks/struts were bad.

Could it be a wheel bearing. Im about to go out and spin the wheels and listen for any noise but this sounds and feels like I almost have no rear shocks at all. Any suggestions?? let me know if i need to be more detailed...

Try pulling your ebrake up slowly at a slow speed and see if it stops.

My 95 GT did the same thing and I replaced everything trying to make it stop (Bearings, Rotors, Brakes, Bushings, etc.) I was messing with the ebrake after I put the new rotors on and noticed the noise stopped when I engaged the ebarke one click up. Found out that A: I was missing a little washer that held my ebrake internals tight in place and B: I need to tighten up my ebrakes.

Good luck I hope this helps

Also I could not hear the noise when the car was jacked up.
