I'm getting a clunking sound from the rear passenger side of my SE when I hit a bump, and I have had everything out of the back of the car and it still does it. Spare tire is bolted tight, it's not that. Hatch seems to shut securely. Anyone else had this problem?

check your muffler, 4 links and the watts link.

 

sway bar bushings??struts??

 

I had a terrible clunking noise for the longest time. Went through the same thing as you, emptying out the hatch and all. Ended up being that my rear sway bar links had both snapped off.

 

Thanks, guys, up on the hoist tomorrow for a look-see!

Are you related to Mr. Bonner's detergent?

 

could something like this be happening from the car being lowered? i have racing beat springs, and my car makes a clunking sound over big bumps, and i had the car on a lift the other day, and everything looked fine in the suspension.

 

could be ur strut to, they clunk when they get bad

 

Did you replace your shocks? Have you checked the bump stops? They harden with age and can break off too.

 

ill check the bumpstops, i know that on a honda, you have to cut the bumpstops, so i may have to do it here too.

 

not to be an *** or anything but are the springs on right??my rear diff clunks, its the ring and pinion backlash that makes this stupid clunk in and out of gear, and when in neutral over bumps, but thats just me and i have THE LARGEST backlash on a rear diff ive seen and heard .but its all good at least i know thatswat it is..

 

I trim the bump stops 1/2". If they are rock hard, Black Dragon sells new ones.
