well ive had this noise in my car everytime the rear suspension flexes it makes this REALLY anoying noise thats is really loud. my dad thinks its the bearings but the thing that makes me think its not is that if i push down the back of the car it still makes the noise. what do u guys think. i also think it might be the little cop type thing that the top of the spring rests in because mine is all crusty

 

Well, what does the noise sound like?

 

i had a clunk in the rear, was the camber links going bad... id take a look at those

 

the noise is almost like something is rubbing togethre and its pretty loud from the outside it mainley sounds like its coming from around the disc or the whole shock tower

 

Jack the car up, take the wheel off and rotate. Put your ear close and listen to the source of the noise...

 

ive done that before but still couldnt find **** it sounds like the noise is come from everywhere. its driving me insane

 

ok i just went under my car and did all the stuff to try and figure out what it is and i think its the lower controler link. im gonna orders those maybe but they are 70 bucks

 

Time for suspension bushings (every 120,000 miles or so)

The classic clunk - clunk is usually the rear trailing arm bushings, but could also be sway bar bushings or struts.

 

i was thinking of ordinger the whole bushing kid from that victoria british catalog.

 

The RX-7 language:

Crunch - high rev shift to 2nd
Beeeeeeee - over rev or low coolant or low oil.
RrRrRrRrR - starter gear sound (normal)
