okay before you flame me..
i already searched..

it all leads to the Endlinks.. being loose.. well my endlinks are all tight and fine!

aite..
well when i make a left turn then go straight.. or go over little bumps, it makes a CLUNK.. it sounds like the endlink problem, but it CANt.. be. (unless im wrong)

i hope i can get this.. solved.. it sound slike the car is going to rip apart! :[

 

I can't even hear the knocking but your exhaust sounds nice

 

When did you notice this clunking sound? After you lowered your car?
Theres a chance that the endlink bolts aren't tightened enough. Also, the spring coils ccould be hitting each other each time they compress. If thats the case, some rubber around the coils may reduce the noise.

 

well we lowered our car.. lets say.. 3 month ago.. and EVERYTHING was fine.. until iono what happened.. my bro said he was driving. then ALL of a sudden (a few days ago) he starts to hear clunking soo iono..

i guess we will check the endlinks again...

rubber aroudn the coils? please explain.. :] sounds interesting.. cause when i jack the car up i hear clunks! also..


to hear the clunk PLEASE HIGHER UR VOLUME!!
Thanks like med to max

 

Also may want to look into your wheel bearings and lca bushings.

 

check..
-lca balljoints
-endlinks (check rubber if its leaking grease)
-sway bar bushings

or wheel bearings

 

if i checked the things u listed how will i know if its bad?

the sway bar bushings should be well taken cared of... we replaced them with energy bushings..

like how will i know the wheel bearings are bad n all..

 

Jack up the car--leaving one wheel suspended. Put a jack stand in a secure place and ease the car back down on the stand. Place your hands at the 12:00 o'clock and 6:00 o'clock position, and try to "rock" the tire by alternately pushing with one hand while pulling with the other. If the wheel bearings are loose or worn, you will feel a little clunk as you rock the wheel.

Another way is to (on the fronts) simply try and spin the tire as fas as you can and listen for any roughness not due to a dragging brake pad. This test is a little harder to do depending on brake caliper design.

But mostly--- you can "feel" bad bearings on the highway with a increased vibration at speed, and even a low level howl that finds its way into the cars interior. This is harder to listen for if you have a droning exhaust, though.

 

also check to see if your sway bar/end links are hitting your rear struts..you have to check when all four wheels are on the ground

 

Any news?

I just lowered my car with some coilovers and also got this clunking noise.
It seems like it's coming from the rear passengers side.

This could be my problem. My rear springs are kinda loose (right side more than the left side). The upper part of the springs can be moved (push & pull).

Can someone explain how I should put the rubber around the coils? Or can I take a rubber hose and warp it around the upper prat of the springs?


edit: I just found this in another thread:
Whats up with this? How can I know?

 

Same problem...hoping for a solution!

 

If you are using the stock SC brakes then you should check there. I had a horrible clunking from what I thought was my front suspension. The noise disappeared completely after I did the LS400 BBK upgrade.

 

I have the clunking noise and this morning i went over the whole thing and found the LCA bushings were busted,
Are there any Prothane inserts for this??

 

there's got to be AT LEAST a dozen threads on this

 

im still new,i did my search and ended up here.
