Hello All,

I have a weird problem that I have been trying to solve. I have a E34
(1991) with an m20 engine.

When I go around a corner with giving it some gas, I'm getting a THUMP,
THUMP, THUMP from the rear end. But when I give it some gas, it goes
away in the same corners. But the sound is not there when going in a
straight line. Only in corners with no acceleration.

I'm leaning towards a Diff Support or Subframe Bushing problem.

Any one else have any input?

Sorry... that should say "When I go around a corner without giving it
some gas, I'm getting a THUMP, THUMP, THUMP from the rear end

At a guess - rear bush/ball joint
Kind of standard service part at 50K+ on many models
