When I drive my 65 mustang, it makes a noise whenever I go over a bump. It sounds like a jingleing, or like I have a trailer attachted.

Sounds like you have something loose LOL

Sorry but I could not resist

You need to be more specific about the noise. Where is it coming from? Do you have stuff bouncing around in your trunk?

hate to ask the obvious, but check the trunk maybe you have something loose that moves around (tire, jack, etc) when you go over the bump

Check to make sure all your exhaust system mounts are attached. The rubber mounts get old and break loose and will sometimes do that. Just a thought.

I have check my trunk and nothing is moving around. It only sounds like it is coming from the right side in teh rear. I have glass back on, so were are my rubber mounts

it sounds like an exaust problem, or maybe leaf springs. More then likley it is the exaust... your rubber bumpers should be around the tail pipes.... get under the car and rattle the exaust and see if it makes the same noise as when you go over a bump....

Take the spare tire out and see if something is loose under it. Also check in the trunk dropdown by the quarter panel. Something could be down there and not be seen.

It could be a lot of things, but your use of the word "jingle" reminded me of a problem I ran into with my 67- it sometimes made a "jingle" sound when hitting a bump. As I remember, when I replaced the rear shocks, I discovered a problem with the rear mount where either a washer was missing, or something broke, so that one washer was not pressed against the rubber bushing like it should - it was suspended a little and that allowed it to jingle against other metal when I hit a bump. THe sound drove me nuts for months until I figured it out.

Check this and the suggestions in the other posts. Good luck

Check the rods (springs) for your trunk lid. Sometimes they bang together. Place a bit of rubber tubing around them to stop the metal to metal contact.

Check the metal strap that holds your leaf springs together in line with each other. If it gets loose it will make noise like you described.
