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 |

ALSO CHECK REAR SWAY BAR BUSHING! They may not look bad but they get hard and have alittle play and will cause some nasty clunking... i have found this problem on multiple 6th gens! The rubber bushings only costs 4$ each and there are two of them. To check them grab ahold of the rear sway bar under the car and yank it up and down ...if you have just alittle up and down play then you should change them.

Hi - I just ordered 2 rubber bushings, I found that the easiest way to fit them was to put the rear wheels on the ramp. Then you undo the bracket that holds the stabilizing bushes. Pop em out and replace. Takes about 30mins total for this project. This post has been edited by san0: Feb 11, 2007 - 4:25 PM --------------------  san0.:GT-SS2:. |
