Alright so ever since I got my car the rear suspension has been making noise.
Every time I hit a bump my suspension clicks in the back. It makes a perfect click click sound. I was told it was the end links changed them and still nothing then it was the trailing arm bushings changed those too and nothing no one can tell me what its coming from so I just wanna change everything.

I know there has been many of these threads already and I've went threw them all so bare with me as I want to make sure of my purchase.

The only thing I'm really not sure about is the top plates. Do I get the

ah the classic ralliart rear clunk / squeak. Yea I gave up trying to get rid of the noise. Its hit or miss for me depending on the day and the weather and the temperature.

Before buying anything, check that none of the rear suspension arms have bolts seized inside their bushings and lubricate the anti sway bar bushings.
Also, look at where the anti sway bar comes close to the exhaust mount and confirm that there is not or has not been contact.

It can also be one of the shocks seized on its bolt.

Well as far as I know the car is still on the stock shocks and it's been lowered for a while and the car is reaching 175k so I really wouldn't be surprised if it would be time for new shocks! Also wondering sometimes when I hit bumps in the front it makes a good clunk noise. I did just notice that my transmission mount is pretty finished could that have any link?

At the front it could be the TCA bushings or the links to start. Also rod ends.

Alright so I just got everything installed. I dont know if its just me but I feel like the hole car wabbles from side to side. Im not sure if they did an alignment so could that be the reason?

did you pay for an alignment?

JTCB

I havnt seen them yet I always go there so they just left the car outside and I picked it up ill go tomorrow and see. Its just seems to sway alot from side to side im wondering if aligment has anything to do with it. My car sits so high in the back now with the new shocks

^^^^^^^^^^ Definitely an alignment issue. I had this exact experience the last time I was naive enough to let the dealer touch my car.

Yeah I can tell you its definitely a weird freaking feeling. Seems like the *** just shakes around.

Did you lubricate the anti sway bar bushings at the rear and check the middle and upper rear suspension arms ?

JTCB

The click is coming from the back. Ill check it out

Well apparently the sound is coming for the swaybar bushings. So I guess it'll give me a reason to go buy a new swaybar
