hey when i change gear under load i have a lod clunk comming form the rear, i was told this is bolts on the suspension?
and my exuasgt is shooting out black flakes once its warmed up but its like water if u hold ur hand close? is my exuast system going or sumthing more sinister
black shit coming from the exhaust is quite normal , this is the catalytic converter doing its job.
the clunk could be anything from loose u bolts to worn bushes to shot uni , excessive play in diff backlash and hemisphere gears , a lot of things really ...

Black flakes coming out of your exhaust is not normal. I'm guessing your mufflers are deteriorating from the inside and are spitting out bits of the baffle. Black water coming out (when engine is cold) is normal if the car is running rich as it's just condensation build up in the exhaust. You'll want to get that fixed though cause it will kill the catalytic convertor (if it has one)
