ok, i took off my air ride and put all stock suspension back on.
i couldn't get the half of end links off the struts i got at the junkyard, so i left them i and drove a couple days w/o them.

yesterday i got around to putting them back on and tight.

Now i have a clunking sound from the rear when i hit bumps. if u bounce the car from the rear i don't get a sound, but if i rock the car from the side i get the clunking noise from the rear. Sounds like metal hitting metal.

i was told to check my rear bearings, which i will do tomorrow.

anyone know what it would be off the bat?

same thing happened to me and it could be two things that i could think of....
theyre either not alighned right(with the arrows on the top strut mount, should be facing out) or you forgot to put the 1" washer on(the washer goes right under the very top nut that hold the spring down)

p.s. without the washer thingy theres like a 1" gap, and when you hit a bump it will make a slam noise...good luck

p.p.s. LET ME HAVE YOUR WING.... biggrin.gif
