Perhaps the rotational noise was an option on certain model year C3's. Just kidding, of course.

i also get a klunking noise when i put it in gear . everything looks good ,but have been told that the diff bushing can look good till you take it out .i know that my bushing is 22years old ,so i am going to change that so that i know that is not the cause of the noise

Vuego, I solved the problem by applying a very small drop of graphite to the pins that secure the brake pads in the rear calipers. It took the lubricant a while to soak in, but while I was driving yesterday, I suddenly realized the noise was gone.

I inspected the differential carrier bushing, but didn't replace it. A mechanic told me if the bushing was bad the car would make a rotational noise on acceleratopn and deceleration. I only heard a noise when decelerating.
