My rear de dion bushing was showing a lot of wear and started to pop on hard bumps about 3 weeks ago. I've been meaning to get it replaced and planned on doing it within the next week or two.
On my way to work this morning I noticed what sounded like backfiring when I shifted. On my way back I realized that something in the rear was making a pretty darn loud thumping noise when I let off the gas pedal with the clutch depressed. It only thumps when in gear.
The rear bushings look pretty bad. The donuts were replaced under 10,000 miles ago and look good, so I am pretty sure its the bushing causing this. I have a meeting I have to be at this morning and my other car is in the shop.
Think its okay to drive the 10 miles to and from work with it acting like that if I baby it?
