GS300 BC Racing coilovers, rear clunking noises on a 3rd gen?
I have recently bought a late 2005 GS300 SE-L, very pleased with it. It came already fitted with BC Racing coilovers (under a year old), however on one of the rear corners I am getting a clunking over light bumps. I've searched and searched and it seems a common fault on the mk2 GS's but I cannot seem to find anything on the mk3s?
I've checked all bolts and all are tight, all of the bushes seem ok so lost now? Can anyone help? I have the standard shock which I could try to fit just to confirm it is the shock itself or perhaps swap the 2 rear shocks over?
Thanks

Well I swapped the BC's for the standard shocks and all noises gone so it is definitely the coilovers causing this, however can anyone explain which part of the coilover itself makes the noise? Some suggested the cartridge? Is that the bottom part of the shock when the strut screws into it?
