  • Clunk/rattle on right rear, not shock mount

    Could this be the possibility of the top spring seat completely gone? wow.

    the clunking, rattle fefinitely sounds like metel to metal and it is not the shock mounting since i checked the nuts and the shock nut.

    This leads me to believe it is the spring seat, possibbly the top since i hear it coming form the rear right area. At first i thought it to be the shock since this has happened before but it seemed to be a bit different since it does not do it all the time or even frequently with bumps.

    its a long shot, but once i had a bolt loosen up on me.. it took me forever to figure it out. it was the bolt that is the pivot point for the lower shock mount.. i dont know how else to describe it, i hope you know which one im talking about, its worth a look.. good luck

        Its not that hard to check out all the stuff. Jack the car up and check the spring seats...they are probably shot. The bottom ones are very thin and usually do not last as long as the tops. Take the bottom shock bolt off and check wiggle the shock up and down to check any other noise. Take the rear speaker out and check the 3 bolts up there. Good luck.

          make sure someone didn't put them back together wrong :roll: . Happened on my car when the previous owner installed the tokico gas-a-just shocks

          Terrible idea putting those wheels on...
