Unhappy installed rear, now i have a clunk only under certain cinditions, help

hi all,

i replaced my rear with a stock replacement when i blew my old one up. Anyway, i installed it and it works fine, no noise and on driving there is no clunks or anything. HOWEVER, if i take a left, NOT right, ONLY a left turn up a incline, say my driveway, i hear like a poping/clunking from the rear, i'm pretty sure it is right rear but i know it's rear. So basically, if i turn right into a inclined driveway, no noise. If i turn left into a inclined driveway, i get a clunk. Also, there has to be a incline or there is no noise at all. Any ideas?? i just need to narrow it down to either the lca's, panhard rod, springs, or shocks. Which of those would cause that?? thanks in advance.

It isn't the very common spring noise is it? Both of my 4th gens made a noise whenever I went over a speedbump or uo some driveways.

Did you drop the exhaust at all when you put the rear in? If so I would Check and see if the rear pinion yoke is hitting your intermediate pipe, happened to me once. youll be able to tell pretty easily by rub /scuff marks.
