98 GSX Clunking sound

[AZGSTGSX]

I just bought a GSX 1998. It has a metal clunking sound when I accelerate from a stop. It also has a clunking sound when I go over a bump in the road and sometime when I turn. There also seems to be excessive vibration noise in the car. Anyone else ever have this problem? I bought the car in California yesterday and drove it back to Phoenix so I have not gotten under the car to take a look yet. Im thinking it may be motor mounts, but this is my first LSD GSX. I m wondering if there are drive train mounts that could be bad as well. Any thoughts or info greatly appreciated.

Could be a lot of things. You're going to have to inspect the drivetrain and suspension parts. I would start with checking all of your suspension bushings.

Possibly loose exhaust hitting all sorts of stuff. Really could be lots of stuff.

Thank you guys for the input. Ill get it inspected this week and update!

Bad driveshaft carrier bearings can cause vibration and clunking. Just one other possibility.

It is probably the body in the trunk. Just turn the boost all the way up.

Probably empty O'Doul's bottles.
