Strange crunching or scrapping noise at the rear.

[Spinout]

Whenever, I have a heavy load in my car and I turn it makes a weird crunching noise or scrapping noise at the back of the car.
Im guessing its my suspension??
Can you guys verify this?

Are you hardcore lowered and taking hard turns? Could be your rear mudflaps...rofl. It's happened to me ;)

If not, please provide more information on the problem. When does it happen, under what circumstances etc etc...

Similar to mine!
Mine happens when I slowly go up or down the drive way.
My suspension is stock tho...

Rear tires are hitting the guard? :?:

[Spinout]

It only happens when the car is full of people.
When I turn corners it will make the noise.

Its stock, and the car is not lowered.
Though I have new 17" mags in place and i've checked the gaps and it should be fine.

So maybe its the springs or shocks what do you reckon?

[Spinout]

It happens on both side, left and right depending which way I turn and the speed i am travelling whilst turning.

what year model do you have. I remember i had a toyota corona which my brother trashed to a point where the mud flap would swipe the road if there was too much load in the car or if i took a corner too fast (alone). Its shock and suspension related if you sure the 17s are not the problem. Hope this helps

I have a 94 model.

Thanks though I doubt my mudflaps would reach the ground we all must be very fat lol
hahaha

I'll get my springs changed anyways so I can lower it and i'll probably take off the mudflaps.

it sounds like a syspension problem. if the cars not lowered, but with a full load on the shocks, the tyre could be rubbing the fenders. How many k's has the car done?? prolly shocks are dead and needs changing. :)

[Spinout]

Done about 120,000kms

yeh i think the shocks are dead...

yeah its the shocks..
i put 15" (small..sigh) on my 99 teg with bigger tyres and it does that, i reduced the tyre size and the problems gone~~
