Rear suspension noise

07sikspd · 10-09-2008, 06:57 PM

Everytime i go over a decent size bump i hear a poping noise out of my right rear suspension. I have re aligned the spring a few different times thinking it wasn't settled properly and i have also replaced the strut as well i don't know what else it could be.

I have a clunking sound coming from the rear of my car too. It happens over bumps and dips in the road but not all the time. Sometimes its really small ones the cause it and sometimes it happens over moderate sized changes. I have the redshift koni struts, sportlines, progress, and SPC in the rear with a 70mm skunk2. I haven't determined what is causing the sound when I go over bumps and dips. Nothing seems loose but I'm gonna check again tomorrow afternoon. I removed everything including the spare tire yesterday but the noise was still there. I haven't tried making any changes under the car yet. its hard to determine what is making a noise with suspensions parts since it is almost impossible to mimmick the force of the car on the road.

i was talking with a few people today about they mentioned the strut top could be bad and that would be the last thing anyone would check so i am going to tear that apart tomorrow and take a peek see.

I was looking at my endlinks and the rubber seals that keep the grime out of the joints are broken. i doubt this would be causing the noise though.
