i am running koni sports with neuspeed race in my ej6(ek) and there is rattling sounds coming from the rear suspension... i have checked pretty much everything but can not figure it out. when i have the shocks on fully tight i do not hear it as much... any ideas?

 

i dont know but mine rattles too. i'm riding stock ctr shocks/springs with rear strut bar and rear sway bar. the squeaks are from the bushings but i also hear a rattling sound. maybe the setup is stiff so other things in the trunk vibrate?

 

it seems that in the search that this question was asked several times but was never answered with assurance.. i had stock shocks in the car before and it did the same. however when i was running with coil overs, i did not have this problem...

 

bump

 

I have the exact same setup and it does the same friggin thing....would like to know as well.

 

I don't know if this is what your talking about, but... the ek have a problem with the rear trailing arm bushing making a clunking sound after the car has been lowered for a while. it happened to mine and my friends 00 coupes. solution=Mugen hard rubber bushing like I said before, I don't know if this is what your all refferring too.

btw-there is a service bulletin on it, but Honda just rplaces it with another bushing that WILL go bad again. it's a bitch to fix also.

 

I've got the same issue w/ my EF & Neuspeed Race Springs. I have no clue what it is, I'll check the bushing out..........hopefully that fixes it, it's been like that forever now.

 

does anyone have this problem using other springs? i will check the bushings...

 

I am running Tokico HPs with RSR springs and ES bushing kit and every so Often I heard a *thud* sound or a knock come from the ***-end useually when I am pulling onto or off an apron (driveway) or going over speedbups. anyone have this, I have checked EVRYTHING and removed prts to check...nothing, I even removed the gastank and reinstalled with some rubber shims to see if it might be shifting side to side. Its anoying as hell any ideas? maybe a broken wled on one of the body seams? argg!!

 

by the way, it did this BEFORE the bushing kit so don't go there...

 

Mine does the same **** with a stock suspension. It was much more noticeable with the back stripped out of the hatch. I would think it's the stock springs.

 

r u running an aftermarket exhaust... my exhaust hits the underpart of my chassis making a thump when under hard turns or bumps...

I'm assuming you are asking me, and no, I'm still on my stock suspension. My exhaust has a HUGE canister (Apexi Dunk) and I have never once had it hit the underside of my hatchy.

 

sorry meant to ask 'upgraded' but still to lazy to figure out how to quote someone... i may be just the EJ's bushings.... what is the mileage on your 97?

 

if I knew how to post pics I could post the Honda Bullitin on the subject. It does it in my car before and after I had my JIC's. (before: progress sport springs/stock struts)

same thing with me, my rear is also stripped, man you here all types of noises back there

 

lets hear it for being gutted
my car came that way. bump

 

have a rear sway bar?

id imagine its some interior part more than likely

 

I still have a stock exaust on the car so I know thats not it. I'll figure it out one of these days. Thanks for the suggestions though.

 

mine does it too, but only when its cold. makes a screeching noise.
