Ever since I bought my Celica there's been a funky clunking/clicking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle whenever I go over bumps, I guess you could call it rattling. I assumed at the time that it was just a loose suspension component. However; I have replace the suspension all the way around and still hear the noise. It is in fact now worse as it comes from both the left and ride side of the vehicle, instead of just the left side. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what it was. I'm wondering if it's that lid or the life supports maybe in the trunk area. Another thought is that the spare tire cover back there is not stock, but just some random cut out, the noise sound like it's coming from higher up though and coming from the sides, not in the center.

What's up man,
If you say it's not a suspension try moving your rear hatch up and down see if there is some slack in it. I had an annoying sqeek coming from my hatch, the latch was worn so it wasn't firmly holding the hatch down. The fix? Open the hatch, take the plastic covering from over the latch, remove the two bolts they were either 12 or 14 don't remember. I took a steel bit bremwel tool and extended the bolt holds on the latch in order to move the latch futher down. Put everthig back together and no noise!! |
