well i figured i would see if anyone else has had this problem. I figure its the struts or the strut mounts. When i hit bumps the rear end makes clunking sounds. When i pressed on the rear of the car it wont do it and the struts dont feel bouncy either. Also, one of the struts is leaking alittle so i know its due a replacement. I was just wondering if anyone elses made this type of noise and what exactly it was?

A couple things to check. On the top of the strut tower there is a 19mm compression nut atop the shock. Make sure this is tight. Mine was a bit loose and made a rattling/clunking noise. While you are there, check to make sure the three 12mm top hat anchors are good and tight as well. You can find all these nuts underneath the plastic pop-out in the trunk. you might have to fold the seats down and remove the two phillips screws to pull away the plastic panel so you can get to the nuts better.
The other thing you might want to check is the end-links. One end is bolted to the bottom of the strut housing and the other to the end of the rear sway bar. Make sure there isn't any play in that. hth |
