i have a 92 s13 w/ sr20 redtop.

so my car started making strange noises yesterday. i was on the freeway driving home, and heard a very subtle audible pop which i dismissed as merely being road debris (don't know how relevant this is). anyways, as i was coming off the offramp, i heard a noticeable thumping sound coming from the rear. after that, everytime i decelerate from 20mph+, the thumping sound would come back. it did not make any sound from accelerating.

i've searched a bit and found a couple things it could be.. which i will check
- driveshaft support being loose
- subframe bushings going out
- low oil in diff
- rear wheel bearings

any other suggestions/confirmations? any help appreciated guys

I would have to say that the subframe bushing is going to be the most likely.

I would also check the drive-shaft carrier bearing though.
