Suspension Brakes Most liked posts in thread: Suspension Question

The height difference could be a couple things.
- One spring has sagged more than the other. Some aftermarket springs sag more than others.
- The top strut rubber bushing has compressed.

As others have suggested, try to isolate the noise before ripping apart the suspension. There are many things that can rattle inside and outside the cabin. Maybe someone can drive the car and you sit in the back listening for the noise. Also, try putting the rear seats down because that lets noise transfer through the cabin better. Try grabbing various parts (sway bar, end links, springs, exhaust, rear hatch, wiring harneses, etc...) and wiggle them trying to replicate the noise.

 

I had a problem like this before. I had some used koni and tsw spring my problem was I didn't have all the hardware. I was missing the bottom washer that prevents the shock from traveling all the way through the rear bushing and the top of the shock was hitting the inside of the body making a clunking noise and a metal on metal scratching noise. Check that and make sure your bolt are fully tighten.

 

I had a similar-sounding click... One of the locknuts was loose on a control arm.

 

Heck if I knew it was a contest I'd have tried harder. . Glad you worked it out. Good job Guys.

 

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
