Default Clicking noise when going over bumps

I am experiencing some clicking noise from the rear end when I go over small bumps.

Sounds like it is coming from the passenger rear.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Mileage 945 miles.

Me too, but I think I get it both front and rear. going over lane markers (reflectors) when changing lanes.

I am almost positive it comes from the right side towards the back.

I hope it's nothing major!

i used to have this loud clanging/clunking sound going over bumps, seemed to be coming somewhere from the rear suspension/brakes. one day on the freeway some guy decided that my car was non-existant and wanted to merge onto me and i pretty much stood on the brakes. haven't heard that clanging since. still going to the dealer for rear buzzing, weird popping on accel/braking, and the rearview mirror if i qualify.

Hummmmmmm.

Maybe later today I'll SLAM on my brakes and hopefully be done with it.

That means I get to drive fast! Again!

So did you get the issue fixed? Are you still thinking its a leaky shock?

I noticed that thread was about a month old. Did anyone get any answers yet?

I have a feeling it has to do with the way the exhaust is hanging.

when I washed the car today, I decided to fold some shop towels up and put them in between the exhaust and the bumper.... Walla sound was gone.

My wife told me I was hearing things, I told her she needed to get her hearing checked.



I do have an apt tomorrow..

Brake TSIB, AUX Tsib, along with Rear Ticking noise

Well I have this problem, I went to the dealer and they tried fixing it and nothing.. This is do to the rear ebrake system of our vehicles..

I have a small and temp solution.. Whenever you park your car, push down the ebrake allllll the way down, leave it over night... try going over some small bumps.. probably wont here it, if you do it would be very low.. I just keep repeating this process for like a couple of weeks now, and I almost dont hear it at all... but its def. the ebrakes... the only solution to this problem is... Removing the ebrake inside the drum... Which is not recommended if you use ebrake or would need it in the future lol... anyways its do to it being loose inside there..

WOW!

It sounds like that clicking noise could be many things!

I guess the best thing I should do is try everything. I'll try the towels, and then if that doesn't work I will take it to the dealership and let them have a look/hear at it.

I'm kinda confussed

It seems like many people have had this problem or already have this problem and we don't have any answers. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this issue because I don't want this turning into a major problem.
