I have a loud knock from the rear of the car that started after i replaced all the bushings. I have removed all the parts i replaced again to check for problems and i can find none.

It sounds kinda like loosening your Spare tire and hitting a bump(i checked that too. stuffed a bunch towels in there to make shure LOL). It doesn't happen if i make a violent turn or if i am easy on the car it just kinda has a sweet spot. and its almost impossible to make it do it consistently but its more common when i do 5-10mph lazy S's on the transition from a right turn to the left just as the car starts to swap the direction of the lean. Its not to loud when i do that but its there, the thing that bothers me is that at times like going in reverse out of a parking spot turning left as i start to hit the brakes it does it REALLY loud sometimes.

the rear shocks have like 5,000 on my car and 2,000 while they were on my bros z so the should be fine but... I am at a loss as to what to look at.

My front struts are Flat gone but it sounds to be coming from the rear not the front.

oh and its on the pass side. sorry for the jumble o words.

 

I have a knock in the rear passenger side too, not as severe, but there. I havent done anything aftermarket in the rear. And the suspension is still good.

 

my dad had one that was doing something like yours and it was the front strut

 

thats not whats causing mine, I have almost brand new front struts

 

I had a similar knocking sound and it was my sway bar end link.

 

well I was thinking mabe i was just hearing my front strut since they are totaly bad but i wasnt shure cause it "sounded" like it was comeing from the rear.

Swaybar is not the prolem. I dont have a rear one LOL.

 

I had the same problem when I bought my car and the first time I heard it I could have sworn that my spare and jack were loose. But I checked things over and it turned out that my LCA bolt on the passenger side has worked itself pretty loose and the LCA had just enough room to clank around a little bit. Might want to check that.

 

that just reminded me the PHB bolts were bout half rusted through when i took them out, their not broken but rusted. Could this cause enough play to knock?

If so what size of bolts are they so i can get replacements?

 

Check for broken rear trans mount - ask me how I'm familiar with that noise!

I replaced the old one when i did my spohn TA bushing but i just used a cheepie and the bolt started spinning before i got it tight but i couldnt move it or anything so i didnt think it was gonna be a big deal. I will check it tho.

I still cant find the noise, just sounds so much like its coming from that Passenger rear wheel area. Whats the possibility of my rear spring moving around?
