Hey guys i just got new tires installed on my 93-X and i've noticed that the rear driver side makes a clunk noise when i push on top of it with my foot (like checkin for bad ball joint). What is could it be bad axle bearing? It as 300 000 km on it
 






Check the obvious and make sure the wheel itself didn't loosen up,if it's tight jack it up and check for play.If the wheel bearing was going bad I would expect the seal to be leaking.:D
 






Jack up that side and check what the movement really is...

The rear tire/axle will go in/out of the axle tube some due to the c-clip design. If you have a worn limited slip it is actually worse. "Some" movement is normal..
