Rear Suspension Noise...PLZ HELP

Actually, sounds like the Struts are blown. How many miles are on your car and have you ever had the struts replaced?

by **jrzymuscle23** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 4:00 pm

Two things- Rear Struts need to be replaced- and your rear strut mounts are probably shot- if your car sounds like its falling apart- its probably that..

The rear strut mounts don't have bearings so it would be more likely the struts are bad.

whats your location, ive got stock rear struts 12k on them...

car has 146,000 miles but rear struts have reacently been changed abt 1000 miles from the guy i bought it. what are struts mounts? could they be doing it? or stabilizer bar bushings?

IF you just recently got them replaced then its the top strut mount bolt that wasn't tightened down to proper specs. I had the same problem before replacing my suspension

most likely its your strut mounts, had same issue, rattling over every bump, and clanging like something is loose. replaced the mounts, problem solved.

Yup- like I said - rear strut mounts- I purchased some KYB and they've been great. Also, like said before- make sure everything is tightened down correctly! if you need a place to buy the parts- I got mine from rockauto.com .. Great place- I've actually been buyin everything there....

I got the same problem for 1 week now... I changed the bushing behind 2 months ago and all was ok..and now it is doing this big sound when I hit little bumps or big ones..people in the streets are almost turning heads...so much shame..lol...I will go to the garage next week to see what's going on.. Also a little sound from the wheels... a little "ishh ... ishhhh...ishhh" when the wheels are turning, seems to be from behind also..

gosh I spent $1000 2 months ago to replace the radiator,bushing, and other stufs that I dont even know what it is...

Im gonna go see that same agrage, I have a warranty of 6 months ..maybe it come from the same pieces..but it doesnt make the same noise then 2 months ago with the bushings..

Hi guys!

with a friend I found what was the problem!
there was 2 problems,

1st: the "ishh ishh" sound was from the left rear wheel.
It was the protection metal plate around (behind) the disc.
It was vibrating on the disc and was doing this cheap rust metal noise.

2nd: the big "boom" when I hit little bumps.. it was simply the E-brake cable from the left rear again. I knew that the E-brake isn't working on the car and I don't really care. But the cable is cut and it was hiting under the car and make sound.

I'm happy because it cost me 0$ and my car is now like before.
3 "tie rap" for the E-brake and some muscle to remove the plate.
