Question Rear end noise?

When I accelerate I notice a thunk/thump in the right rear of the car now that I've swapped out the rear end (drum to disc). I've checked the spare & driven the car with & without it but no change.

Any ideas?

is it when you punch the gas? not holding it just punching it and letting off, making the car jump?

It happens whenever I let the clutch out fairly quickly, but not under hard accel, sort of like something is giving a little!

I thought I read somewhere a topic of preload or something like that about the sway bar or the lower control arm mounted under pressure.

Definately try the trans mount. It makes a clunk that sounds like it's coming from the rear end.
