I didn't wanna threadjack or anything since my clunking noise seems to be totally different than the "clunking while braking" thread... I know my rear struts are blown (there's evidence of leaking) and I'm getting ready to fix that very soon finally. But while I'm up in there I want to fix whatever it is that causes the awful clunking in the rear of my car. It happens mostly when I'm driving on the streets as opposed to highway. At higher speeds (over 45 or 50) it doesn't make the noise. I searched around and have found conflicting reasons that point to either the endlinks or the swaybar bushings (or strut mounts).
Anyone have any input on this, and how to I tell which one it is? I don't want to just arbitrarily replace stuff that doesn't need replacing. Yeah, I'm all for upgrading everything, but a girl's gotta pay the rent too. -------------------- ![]() |

My thumping issue (no, not the two 10s in the back LOL) is probably the sway bar bushings. No, I haven't replaced them yet (still), my plate is full of transmission right now
That bolt you're talking about is the caliper pin if it's what I think you're talking about. If so, keep an eye on that because you don't want that piston to seize up on you. If I were you I'd get that caliper off my wheel, pull that pin out and clean up around it, getting rid of any rust or corrosion, and oil up the inside some to get things moving again. Oh and yeah I did the rear disc conversion ![]() -------------------- ![]() |
