hi

what do i have do? there are clunking noises in rear of the car... thats when the road is really bad..i dont think its the shocks, there are pretty new.

i've seen a lot of links and threads....but how did you guys fix this problem?

thanks

 

might be your bushings unless you already changed them. did you lift up the back and take off your wheels to see if anything is messed up? When i did that i realize my sway bar broke off the end link and thats whats making all that noise. If nothing is broken its most likely the bushings.

 

Either your bushings or pillowballs.

 

id bet 100 bucks its the pillowballs

 

I purchased rear suspension parts (toe links, lower and upper control arms) from a 2002 model FD with 40k miles or so, and fixed everything... so far so good!

 

My FD is doing kinda the same thing. It only clunks when I'm moving over large bumps though...

I haven't looked at it too closely yet (She's tucked in for the winter).
I think it might be my exhaust, some of the brackets might be loose or broken.

 

thats def it

everyone here is pretty much correct. i'd get all new bushings to replace the old ones and like the other guy said ^...get some toe links and trailing arms. you can get some nice megan racing ones off ebay for a decent deal

 

just wiggle it around and if you hear it tinging or clunking then you know thats prob it.

if you have an fd with some decent miles on the chassis then its most likely the same problem as this dude

 

Do you think that aftermarket toe links and trailing links, like from Pettit or RX7.com make the car noisier? I am having the same issues.

 

please rephrase. there supose to help with suspension clunk, not build on it
