Hello,
Any of you guys who lowered you car (my car was lowered using TRD springs) hear a rattling on the rear end from time to time? I removed everything from the back including the spare tire / jack and etc but the rattling still occurs.. Any ideas on what can be causing it? |

well, I really don't know what's causing it because it only happens when I hit a bump (even slight).. The springs were made for the car (TRD Springs for the 6GC Celica) and there's no play.. I checked the bolts and they seem to be tight.. The only thing left is the fact that the rear suspension bushings are shot. It's kinda hard to diagnose as one has to be physically moving in order for the noise to occur.. I contacted the dealer and basically, they sell rear stabilizer bar bushings (for around 8$ each), they also sell bushings for the rear (front control arm only) for around 36$.. The rest, you have the buy complete arms (not cheap).. Fensport - sells superflex polyurethane replacement bushings for the rear arms http://www.fensport.co.uk/partsfiles/st200chassis.htm - around 90$ for a kit (which comes with 4 bushings, but then again, don't know how if that's for both sides sides - considering there's a front and rear arm (which requires about 4 bushings total), it's might be per side)..
