WTF is wrong with my stock suspension...

crazi3 · 02-14-2007, 01:35 AM

so i have a problem. my car recently have been making a lot of noise. i notice that when i drive off or stop my suspension would make the noise as if i had a drop and its rubbing. and when my car is in park and i bounce up and down, i can hear it clunging.... what should i do... is this normal? or should i bring it to the dealer since i'm still under warranty....

P.S. i admit going through twistys but i don't think i went through that hard...

I'll let them take alook...my appointment is on friday at 9am...

sounds like you either ripped a tophat/pillow mount on a strut, blew your shocks, or ripped a bushing in an arm. just take a flashlight and see if you notice any torn bushings on your control arms and top mount bushings. if you do there is your problem, if you dont then you might have blown shocks.

PoLiShPrInCe · 02-14-2007, 04:50 PM

i cant believe there are so many posts about blown shocks in the rear... what is up with that

Sitric · 02-14-2007, 05:42 PM

Sometimes if you put too many dead bodies in the trunk, it wears out the shocks a lot quicker. My advice would be to try and utilize a pick up with a cap on it, or some sort of SUV that is made to handle larger amounts of dead bodies. Make sure that you get the rear windows tinted so that you don't look too suspicious.

Happy motoring!
