Default full throttle= rear end in the intersection

so as i continue to DUMP money into this car, it now makes a horrible noise......again.

from a dead stop, if i quickly apply full throttle, something sounds like it is going to come through my back seat or fall out and land in the intersection.
any ideas? i do not see evidence of parts moving abnormally while on a lift.
thanks CL!

That sounds like the same symptoms as what this guys was having from this thread.

It seems like this is becoming common and mine is actually doing this now too, but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

yup, those bushings are the one that holds the car down during acceleration. so when those cracks, there will be freeplay, hence you hear the clunk.
