    suspension noise

    hey guys, a friend and i have been trying to work out this suspension noise. the guys at goodyear who did my alignment said its a very unusual noise.

    i spent the day yesterday stripping the rear plastics, spare wheel, rear sway bar and going for test drive and it still makes the noise.

    i have changed from oem shocks to brand new coilovers in which the noise was still apparent before and after coilovers

    it only happens when i turn and sometimes when i go over smooth ditches on the road

    anyone have any ideas?? its a dc2r by the way

    gosh

    Well its not your suspension....

    Next up look at worn tierod ends , swaybar endlinks or suspension control arm bushes. All , when worn or broken can give the "sound" over bumps or turning that you describe.

    i'll have a look at tierod ends later. what are the signs of wear?? definately not my sway bar or end link because i took the sway bar out and took for a drive..

    I would take it to your local mechanic and get him to inspect it. You will never get an answer to a situation like this thru the forum, as everybody interprets noises ever so slightly different

    Well unless you can get sound, vids, photos, etc

    We can only half guess against your description of the issue so...

    it sounds like a loose nut is just hitting up against metal. i notice that the noise only happens when i turn the wheel back and upon the car leveling as it straightens up, it makes the sound. whatever i'll jst get mechs to deal with it lols
