[Healeys] Rear end clunk

[Richard Kahn]

Right about where you are hearing the noise there is a system of bushings that
hold the engine form moving forward into the radiator. Those bushes may be
hard and degraded.
This is just a thought that is often overlooked as it is seen only when the
car is elevated.
