you mentioned that a clunking from the rear end of the car was the muffer bouncing around.

I checked mine out, found out it was well stretched and ordered up a replacement.  It broke a few days before the new ones arrived.  I just installed a new one today and on my test ride, I hear no clunking from the rear end over bumps for the first time since I've owned the car.

Thanks for the good advice!

Oh it was sweet!  It was a nice day out and I was cruising around with the sunroof open.  

To get rid of the clunking from the rear I had changed the rear shock mounts, bought the missing hardware that holds the tire down (I thought the tire was bouncing around), and then I sured up the antenna motor mounts.
