Whenever my rear right wheel goes over a bump or hole it sounds like its bottoming out. I have new tokico illimina struts with eibac pro kit springs so it couldn't be that the strut is bad. It did the same thing before when i was running stock struts with my eibac pro kits. For some reason it only does it on the rear right wheel, not any of the others. When I hit a decent sized bump, it makes a lound bang. Any ideas what it could be?

 

mine too. it goes THUMP. doesnt sound like bottoming out though. bottoming out sounds more like SCCCRAAAAHHHPPP!SCHEERRSSZZZ. yea its from the rear right too. ahahah i dont think its a problem

 

really? and its only with your rear right wheel as well?

 

Maybe your lower control arm is hitting your exhaust. Look at your exhaust to see if it is rubbing on your control arm when your suspension is compressing over a bump. Good Luck

 

hmmm.... thats a really good point. i don't remember that happeneing before i installed my Magnaflow catback. the muffler on it is pretty big, i'll check to see if thats it thanks!!

 

I would second the exhaust or if you could get two floor jacks jack the car up somewhat to fit the other under the rear tire and jack it up and after each pump check for issues.

Dont completly use the 2nd jack with the cars wieght on the tire.

 

good idea

Was that the problem?

 

well while i was installing my comptech sway/tie bar combo this weekend, i looked to see if i could see any marks from the LCA hitting the exhaust and it didn't look like it. i didn't really check very thoroughly though, i'll have to check again. one thing i did notice was the the exhaust tip is actually touching my bumper, and has even melted my bumper a little from the heat. i'm thinking maybe the noise is the exhaust hitting against the bumper? i don't know... i'll have to do some more research.
