I am having a weird problem with my Evo. It's only 3 months old and I have about 6k miles on it. Well when I am pushing it hard (shifting at 6K) I hear a loud banging sound coming from the rear of the car. It almost sounds like a bowling ball crashing around in my trunk.

If I shift normally or dont really shift fast it doesn't happen. I have to be on it pretty hard to get that sound...

Any ideas??? Luckily I haven't put on the intake or started modding so it's still under warranty but I don't want to go up to the dealer and say "hey when I really dog it, then it starts banging around"...

Check your spair tire to see if its bolted down properly , and chekc your jack,
it might be a broken link kit to,
check that .

when i pull off hard into traffic i get a funny clunk type sound that seems to come from the right rear..not the trunk though.

Have you had any suspension work done, or does your alignment feel alright? When I had my alignment done, the shop didn't tighten something in the right rear and there was a clunking sound and the alignment was way off.

Are you letting the clutch too early or gasing it too soon when you release the clutch? Is it a sound that sounds like something pop out of your exhaust? I remember having that feeling when i test drove a evo 9 @ a dealership. Found out I was letting the clutch go to soon and didn't balance it with the gasing it.

Does it sound like the problem I had here? Mine started as only during acceleration, and then progressed until it happened when I went over bumps. It was the end link of the rear sway bar. There have been a good number of Xs exhibit this problem. My thread is here, but there have been others as well:
