370z possible rear suspension issue

2 other things to check. Your diff bushing. Look and see if there is any black streaks on the diff cover. If there is. The diff bushing has failed. The other thing to check is the axle nut on the hub. Those have been known to cause noise. Think there might be a TSB on it.

Diff bushing has already been dealt with - I have the Z1 urethane but I'll check again. Will also see if axle nut is doin' anything weird.

give me a heads up bp if you end up finding out whats wrong with it, i can't seem to diagnose it either and its driving me crazy.

the car still handles great and is fine at higher speeds but low speed it clunks like crazy.

Good read; as i never experienced this with my 11' & over 90,000mi.
I may have heard more (if my ears weren't failing me).
