theres a very loud clunk noise coming from my rear right tire whenever i drive over a decent size bump etc. i had a blown out shock but i replaced that and the spring, but now it sounds the same if not worse. any suggestions???

 

shock knock?

 

look under the rear-end of the car and make sure your rear sway bar mounts are still attached to the chassis.
my car made the same kind of noise but at the rear left side. i looked under the car and the rear sway bar mount on that side had rusted out and fell.

 

check the sway bar.... and do a bounce test on the shocks. Personally i would remove the sway bar and drive around, if the sound goes away theres your problem. Otherwish test further

 

I noticed the same thing in my right rear side...weird. I'll have to take a look tomorrow.

 

Ha I have the exact same situation.

I've tried everything, nothing seems to work. Even got new endlinks, etc.

Could it be a loaded swaybar?

 

also check the upper control arm mounting points(anchors) and your balljoints.

 

thanks guys, i'll check all of that soon. if i find out what it is, i'll be sure to repost this w/the answer.

 

on my wifes lude the bolts holding the trailing arm to the body LOOKED fine but were loose.

 

leave the sway bar on. check the endlinks.

 

+1 on the endlinks

 

actually replacing my sway bar with new ones right now. had to take the bar to my buddies shop to zing the old ones off.

 

My sway bar broke last week, made a hell of a clunking sound. Pulled the one off my parts car, and I'm good.

 

Might not be the endlinks, I just replaced mine with new oem ones.

Check the components all around your suspension to see if anything is hitting each other. On mine there is a small dent on the muffler piping right underneath the LCA. Dunno if it was like that when I got it or not, seems to be enough clearance.

 

idk, i checked over everything and everthing seems to be solid. whats a good way to check the balljoints??? maybe thats a possibility?

 

that sucks bump

 

you did not mention if you were dropped or not

 

yes, it is dropped. but i don't understand why it would just be making the noise on one side??? and from looking at the fenders on the inside etc, it doesn't look like its hitting/botteming out. i did notice that the rubber ring(where the upper part of the spring fits into)was hanging down on the old set up. but now its firmly set in there. could there be some damage done from the old set up???

 

my koni/eibach pro setup is still making a noise with the new oem endlinks...

Wish I'd known about this when I still had my 4th gen.

 

im just thinking in my head how does one cure this with the vehicle weight still loaded? i cant even fit a hand in the wheel well.

 

thanks for this, i'm gonna get on this ASAP. cuz i really think this is the problem.

 

Thanks for that link man. Im glad someone was able to shed some light on this because mine was doin this a little b4 i put the new springs on it.
