Re: things that go bump in the night

Inspect the trailing arm bolts but I think the source of the noise is 
one or both of the drive shafts. The drive shafts change their length 
as the wheels go up and down and on turns under acceleration. They 
probably just need to be disassembled, cleaned and lubricated. While 
you are at it check the c/v boots and lube the c/v joints too. Since 
you think the noise is from the right start with that one first but do 
both as they are on the car the same amount of time. The procedure is 
in the archives for the driveshafts and c/v joints.
