Answer
John,

When you replaced the rubber bushings did you check the frame to make sure it's not cracked?  That's a common failure point as the cars age.

And did you check all the rubber bushings on the rear trailing arms?

It's either a) something loose in the axle/hub/wheel combination or b) something loose in the suspension or c) excessive free play in the diff/diff mounting.


Cheers,

Jim
