Clunking sound

///M-Night · 04-22-2013, 07:19 PM

Was driving today and notice when rolling too a light or stop car is making a clunking sound

sounds like its coming from the back.
Starts when slowing down from 30km too a stop. Other wise it's driving fine.
Any ideas??
Car is out of warranty so any help is appreciated!! Thanks!

Ya sounds like I'm dragging a couple of cans.
Test driving it again and it was making it at first and now it's gone

Do you have a nail or something in one of your tires? That can also make rhythmic noises like you described.

Differential fluid needs to be changed. Make sure it's done properly too--otherwise that sound will come back after a few weeks.

Its nothing major. Rocks in the rotor dust shield. I get that shit all the time. Annoying but not harmful.
