Do some of you have a really bad and loud clunking in the rear? Does it sounds like you have some loose 2x4 in the trunk?
Does everything seems to be tight and secure when you check it out? Are your strut and sway bar and bearing plates in good condition? And finally is your celica an early 6th gen? If yes, theres a high chance the problem is with the rear suspension arms, they don't use bushing they use spherical bearing at the ends, and those over time get used and loosy. For fun go outside and kick with moderate force the front and rear of the rims, if you see the wheel move and hear a dull "clunk", maybe its time to replace the whole arms to be clunk free  I recently bought a 6th gen and had a 5th gen with the same problem. And thought I'd share the information with you, cause it seems every post about clunking never mention the suspension arms as being a possibility.  --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

QUOTE(LewFX @ May 4, 2006 - 11:41 PM) [snapback]430321[/snapback] suspension arm #2 is this the arm we're talking about having the noises? or just to show the toe adjuster? I've been having the same problem. I just put my Suspension Techniques swaybars and bushings a week ago and that solved the sway bar "thud" that I had been hearing since I bought the car. Just last night I started hearing a clunking sound from the back right side, nothing seems loose on any of the parts back there. While working on the sway bar we moved the control arm with the toe adjuster, could that be the problem? or could it be my end-link ball joints? I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it has to be 1 of those options -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
