I have ApexI World Sport Damper coils in my 02 sedan accord. I notice that the suspension in the back rattles when I'm driving, I don't know what is causing this problem or is it normal? Since the accord sedans rear suspension upper mounts are installed right next to the back seat, would that be why I'm hearing it because its inside my car and not in the trunk like most cars are?

there's nothing to with the mount location.

I used to have a set and they do not rattle at all, check to see if you have missed or installed a wrong perch/spacer, they have like 5 piece of aluminum just under the top hat as i recall.

Um..since they are not body adjustable, if you lower the car too much and you go over a good sized bump, the spring will unload itself(no helper spring) and cause "chucking".

the question is when and how you get ther rattle?

 

are your shocks blown? they majke noise when thyere blown,if not depending on how many miles and how low your car is that its putting alllot of stress on the bushing check the trailing are bushings everytime you hit a bump does it make a thump noise it can be the bushing and that arm alone is 200+ plus tax and i advise dont go to a junk go genuine honda for that and change both sides
and once that bushing completely breaks your allignment takes a sH*T...

 

Sounds like you have the same problem i have with mine. The top part that covers the spring probably came loose because it wasnt seated properly. Mine did on one corner and it makes lots of noise especially on bumpy roads. I took it in to get it fixed but every fix they have tried has been temporary and as soon as i hit a big bump in the road it comes loose again. Im going to have to take it all apart and redo it to fix it. or super glue it on or something.

Cough..multi-links rear suspension..cough

 

yea it only rattles when I go over bumps or tiny pot holes, I thought that it would have been loose or something. I haven't got the time to check it though. Also my front driver side always squeaks when I pull in or out of my drive way. Don't tell me that my suspension is already gone?

 

I found out mine was a worn out rubber piece that was on top of the strut. It was worn away.
