Weird thump when backing up
 
My SVX makes a weird thump noise from the rear when I back up. It's not when I put it in reverse, rather it happens after I've backed up like 6 inches or so. Only does it when backing up, seems to be coming from the right rear, and it doesn't make another thump when I drive forward again.

I'd check the suspension rubbers and bushings ... jack it up and give things a push and pull.

My guess is the two bushes that mount the rear diff you can see them from the back of the car.

YEah I think those are it.. It doesn't do it when I back straight up, but the minute I turn the wheel, THUMP. I put it on the lift after work and those were the only bushings I got any sort of play out of... What do I do, fill 'em with windshield adhesive? :lol:

Actually, yes....3M window adhesive, just make sure it has plenty of time to cure before you put any load on the suspension/drivetrain.
