i drive a 2000 civic si ,.... and the rear driver side makes this horrible sound when i drive over bumps on the road , speed bumps etc... my car is lowered ,... but it seems that its even lower on that side ??? please help me trouble shoot this problem !!! thanks honda-tech!!!

 

what do you mean by a horrible sound? a creaking sound? a thud? a bang?

 

Rear hub could be bad, rear sway link, shock.

 

Rear trailing arm bushing, broken spring, sagging spring, worn out bushings.

 

not an experet but it sounds to me like you could have blow your shock or strut. take the tire off and have a look around. it might be very noticible break or so on... but it could have lost preasure and you MIGHT not be able to easily see it.

 

could you possibly be running over abandoned children?
they make horrible noises.

 

i aprecieate the theories .... hrmm any more ???

These aren't theories, well except for instrument's. As other's have said before, look for bushing, shock, or spring damage. Since you are lowered, depending on how you lowered your car, these would all be probable causes.
