Default Rear tires cupping

Cupping with a "clunk" in rear suspension. Planning on doing shock bushes and swaybar links. Anything at the top I should be doing?

Others have report top shock mounts in the rear causing noise. Cupping could be unrelated, or could be bad shocks, which could also be the noise. for the cupping, also be sure the toe is set correctly. Toe out on the rear (and front) will wear on inner edge and cause cupping. Camber can be off too, but generally isn't too much of an issue and can be compensated with slight toe in.

Check fulcrum shaft bearings and halfshaft CVs for play.

Steve- Good point. Just got this car and looking at the rash on the BBS's I am going straight to alignment after I get the rear quieted down.

Mark- CVs are tight..will check on Fulcrum shaft bearings.

Thanks
