Clunk! in E36M3



Just noticed last night that when I've been driving for a bit, the first
time I back up and touch the brakes there's a CLUNK! (or maybe KNOCK!)
from the back of the car.  The first time it happened, my girlfriend 
thought we had hit the car behind us, so this isn't a subtle thing.

I CAN'T just roll forwards and back in a parking lot to make this reoccur.

I pulled a wheel off last night and pulled and pushed various suspension
bits, but everything seems solid.  The only thing I could move a bit was
the brake caliper, as expected.

Any suggestions?  This is a '95 with 45K miles.  AFAIK, it's only been
tracked 3 times and autocrossed 6 or so.  The only thing not stock in the
back of the car is the Cool Willie brake pads that I STILL haven't removed
from the last FATT.  It shouldn't be a bushing problem, right?  That only
occurs in cars with LOTS of track miles.

Perfect timing, eh?  PizzaFest 2 is 8 days away.
