Intermittent Right rear popping.

All, I recently acquired a 73 rallye and installed new gas shocks on the front and Max Airs on the back.

I have since noticed a popping in the right rear, crawled under to see if anything was loose, etc but could find nothing.

Thanks Any ideas are appreciated.

Have you got to the bottom of this yet? Is it a faulty shock?

not yet,

The shocks are brand new, did not think that it would be a shock problem? had removed from the right rear what looked like a muffker hangar but reinstalled to see if maybe the tail pipe was bottoming out................

I will check shocks out, anyway to test if its a shock problem without just replacing?

Thanks Dave...any thoughts

Swap them side to side and see if the sound switches sides.

You said it sounded like a "pop" which to me suggests compressed air.

If the sound is a "clunk" I would be looking at exhaust clearence.
