Hey I heard my cars suspension making a kinda clunking / rattle while I'm turning at about 25-30 mph I just started hearing it a 3 days ago
I have H&R springs with stock struts the car has 11k miles on it and i put the springs on at 2k miles could the struts just have gone out?
Or is ther anyway stock bolts/nut can just back out.
the noise is in front i think Thank you for any advise - Miguel

 

Could the CV joints be having issues? What's the clunking sound like?

 

Kinda hard do discribe but it only does it while going faster speed
and would lowering the car cause them to go bad?
Plus how do you check them I will have the car in the air tomorrow
while changing my oil any hints on checking them

 

Miguel,
I just had this problem last week where under 25mph I would hear the clunking/thumping in the rear right side. I took the rear wheel off and found that the coilover spring had settled so much that i could turn the spring easily by hand. I readjusted the coilover nuts and reseated the spring. it fixed the sound.
So try turning the springs if you can on the perch to reseat them. That might help.

 

Opps, I didn't see where your problem is coming from the front. Sorry. I would still try to reseat the springs though. Not sure if that's easily accesible but a cheap try.

 

Even if I dont have coilovers just springs but thanks it could be from back hard to tell and it does sound like a loose spring I try thanks again

 

BTW, at least on my springs and other posts I have seen. Reseating the springs ( even a quarter turn) can make a difference. My spring has this rubber seal on top and I'm guessing after time made a depression. This seal helps minimize noise. Good luck!

 

So I should try turning them a little.
So axle wouldn't be the problem or most likely aren't i hope


Does anyone know of a good shop that can check them out for me near Fairfield/vacaville

 

You may also wanna check your Sway Bars.....I have heard of ppl who put bigger sway bars on, have problems with the sway breaking the stock mounts. Hopefully not tho.

I have stock sway bars but would they still come off

 

My exhaust knocks around slow corners and speed bumps.

 

my stock sway bar mounts broke in the rear and was making a knocking sound against my exhaust. i ended up getting the heavy duty mounts from whiteline from MPJ. I never heard of the mounts failing, just the endlinks... oh well.

 

my mounts gave out...

If the car is on the ground will I be able to move the mount at all even a little or no should it be supper solid?I moved mine about 1/4 left to right
