Whenever I drive over a scallop area of road (_^___^___^_^) while making a left hand turn I hear a loud banging coming from the rear passenger side wheel well. Sounds like my tire may be making contact with my wheel well.

I've referenced my service manual in hopes of finding the culprit but need so advice.

What part of the suspension needs to be replaced or tightened.


Is this something I can repair myself or will it require special tools and above average mechanical prowlness?

Thanks

 

My freaking car does that too. Haven't been able to find it yet. Also it looks like the pass. side of the car is higher that the other???

 

I use to get that noise too, it turned out to be my exhaust hanger was banging against the rear fender. I replaced the rubber piece for the hanger and the noise went away. Check and see if your muffler has too much movement.

I thought my tire jack was loose but stuffing a rag in the compartment didn't fix the banging. I'll give the exhaust a jiggle to see if there is any play. If that's not the cause I'll have to pull the wheel and look for worn bushings.
