Okay, i have had this sound for quite some time. It's a clunking sound that i can hear once in awhile coming from the rear wheel wells. What do you think it could be? .. it doesn't happen often .. and when it does, it's usually when im going low speeds and going over a minor bump in the road ....

 

have you done anything with the suspension?

 

wheel bearing

 

if you have aftermarket struts (shocks) then check around the top hat, it is probably the main nut on top coming loose. I had the problem on my car



if not, then its wheelbearing

 

Perrin sway bar?

 

w3rd. Mine hits my Perrin Endlinks.

 

you should check the top hats and see if the bolts are getting loose, i have to tighten it every so often

 

floor jack?

 

same thing happens to my car, and I'm pretty sure it's the sway bar, since it only happens when suspension on one side is moving

 

spare tire/jack rattling around?

 

do you have an STi?

If so try spraying some white lithium grease where the strut rod enters the strut body

 

+1
STi stuts are the suxorz. Eventually they will stick and hang up a wheel resulting in 3 legger turns.

 

it is easy to check the wheel bearing. lift the car up and try to move the tire back and forth. spin it in a circle and feel for rough spots.

my wheel bearing was easy to diagnose. my whole wheel moved in and out 2 inches

i still think its suspension tho

 

I thought this was another thread about Kanye.
