ShiftRX7

Hey guys i would like to know your opinion on this thing:

it happens when the rear suspension (right one) gets compressed and then released (i.e. when applying significant breaking force)...there is a "clack/clack" sound when this happens, a kind of sound that is very similar to what you obtain when bending a metal part and then it returns to its normal position...

it's not the coilover itself, as i have changed them recently and this effect was anyway present even with the previous kit; any idea of what can be causing it? i'm a bit scared that the chassis itself is bending under the pressure...

any suggestion on things i might want to check to identify the cause of this issue?

thank you very much in advance!

Check to see if the exhaust is solidly held in position. Try to wiggle it and see if it hits anything.

ill give it a check thanks and let you know!

checked the exhaust but it appears to be very well positioned...also i noticed the noise seems to be coming from the higher part of the suspension...any other ideas?

Probably a bushing.

Check the swaybar bushings....

i believe this could be a bushings problem indeed...actually i checked some description of the effect of worn bushings and it matches what i feel...

what would be the best solution guys? i was thinking of going to an upgraded bushings, but was also considering upgrading the links and bars...any advice on what is the best option and course i should follow?

Could also be your rear pillow ball bushings.
