Rear suspension sounds like crap... - Honda Prelude Forum

Hello everyone.

Well, about 4 months ago my car was rear ended when it was parked one night. Ever since then, my rear suspension has increasingly sounded more and more crappy to the point that I don't want to drive it anymore. It creaks over bumps, and the ride is very harsh. I have GC coilovers, with some cheap Monroe Struts, and no other suspension work done. I plan on fixing everything once I get some money stacked up

I plan on bringing it to the shop when I can get off of work, and I was just wondering what anyone thinks it may be. I think it may be the control arms.

I don't really know why I'm posting besides seeing if anyone else has any similar problems.

Thanks

GCs are just noisy period. Mine are really noisy, but ive gotten used to them.. Remember that urethane upper mount that came with the kit? It replaced the stock rubber one and is much noisier than stock...

Control arms are only in the front.. and would only clunk in turns, and either the left or right, depending on your turn and which cv joint is dying
