So like couple weeks ago i put in my new suspension, and now everytime I drive, I hear a little thumping noise in the reae of the car. Its not on big bumps its just little cracks and stuff on the road. Its like a cluunking thumping noise and its driving me insane. I bounced the car around, jumped on the back, but nothing. Only when the car is rolling. Checked all the bolts everything is nice and tight. Now I know that the best solution is to crank up the volume on the stereo, but what could be wrong??

 

Is your exhaust loose?

 

bump this motha jugga is on my head!!!

 

nah its not my exhaust, its 100% coming from my suspension components cause the sound comes from both sides of the rear. It kind of seems like if you try and bounse the car up it might make the same sound, but then im not superman I cant lift anything more then 400 pounds....

 

OK, but then why wouldnt they fit properly? My guess is something is happening when the car is lifted that makes that sound... Maybe its a bushing...

 

Check to make sure that you twisted the rear springs into the rubber isolators and "clipped" the isolators into the holes to keep them from twisting around. Either that or your suspension is settling in.

 

wait what rubber isolators??

 

do you have a sway bar? my buddy lowered his 03 accord and had clunking noises from small cracks/potholes in the road. he asked me to check it out and i found out that the sway bar was loose. problem got fixed.

 

no no sway bar

I don't know if they came with yours, but some were made for the Honda FIT so it might be different.

Did you try adjusting the height of the car?

 

Yeah, went from high to drop and still the same thing... Unless it might be the spring bouncing around, if thats what you ment, as it goes up less tension for the spring too freely move about...

 

Did you install shitty aftermarket rear camber links at the same time? They fail frequently. This same kind of thing happened on my buddy's Integra a couple months ago.

 

That could possibly be one of the problem.

No it was just a straight on swap: take old suspension out, put tein in, bolt it up, set it down.

 

bumps

 

Did you re-torque all the bolts to spec settings after the car was set back down on the ground?

 

hmmm didnt torque em

 

yea try to retorque everything. There is a suspension fourm fyi. If it dosent work
