    Today I rolled around under my VX in search of anything abnormal looking and I found nothing. The CV boots look fine, no leaks or cracks. So, I am at a loss, but at the same time, not overly worried...

    CHECK THE BOLTS OF YOUR SUSPENSION!!!!!!!!!!
    These tend to come loose sometimes, and it makes a cluking noise when backing up!

    Thanks Dutchguy! But, could you be a little more specific with which bolts? I am just about worthless under there....so I need pictures or very accurate descriptions of where to look!

    These are the bolts which hold the shims for the allignment of the wheels.
    They are always under tension because of the spring load caused by the torsion springs of the suspension. But when they become loose, backing up the car results in enoug momentum to push the suspension back into place.I added a drawing of the suspension.
    I mean bolts nr.158!
