ok ok i want to see who exactly is having this problem and maybe we can find some insight as to why and one of us might get it fixed! ive heard that most are on the right side mine cluncks on the left, i also did the installation my self rather than take it somewhere, i have koni yellows and nuespeed sports. before i put the supsension i had never experienced this problem before. is there anyone out there that has this sound with the stock susp.???

i hear clunk from rear left, guessing my camber's hitting the control arm or something like that, i did have alignment done after i installed the camber, don't know how to fix

I got a "pop" in the front in suspension, don't know what it's from. I have a clunk in the rear, but I know it is. My control arm is hittin the inner well in the passenger side rear.

I have total shock knock on my rear stock suspension. Happens in the winter when it's cold, goes away in the summer. Pretty loud too when I go over sizable bumps. The two cures I've heard are:
a) put on a smaller bushing (there's a thread here somewhere - do a search). Just a couple mm shorter than normal.
b) a guy put some extra washers on the top of the tower - just 2 or 3. The english version is now a dead link but here are some pics: http://www.preludeteamholland.com/Mo.../Techniek.html

My right rear clunks. It's only over bumps and what not. It shouldn't hurt anything right? It doesn't bug me that much as long as it's not causing any harm.

Preyluder · 07-02-2003, 02:58 PM

I dunno, I guess it wouldn't HURT anything, but I still can't stand it.

Damn CLIFF, that looks nasty.

What happened?

vile10 · 07-02-2003, 09:29 PM

the noise is just very very very annoying

Hey I found the other site I was talking about where the guy changes the collar size - if the washers don't work, try this!
