Check your tailpipe as it goes over the axle.

Friends, your expertise is needed once more- I've been driving my '66 and of course enjoying the ride.. But Thursday night, while driving the car home, I started hearing a banging sound from the rear of the car- It's not a constant sound, it only seems to sound like it happens when I make some turns or go over bad bumps. The sound is coming from the rear-right section of the car, and really the only things I haven't replaced in the car to date are:
1. the rear control arm bushings 2. the rear u-joints 3. the rear itself
Can anyone tell me what a common indicator would be that the rear is going? Again, it's not constant, moreso over bad bumps than anything- It also seems to occur every now and again while I'm coming to a stop and the PG transmission is downshifting from 2nd gear to 1st. But, I'm sure that the rear itself is due for a swap out as well, considering I'm running a 300+HP 327 in her, when she only came w/a 283.
Any suggestions at all would be helpful. I'm just trying to troubleshoot now so I'm not broke down on the side of the road one day in the near future 8^]
Thanks,
Jim '66 Malibu '59 Corvette
