Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 ever since i had this car there has been this issue where i go over a bump or pothole and theres a real loud banging on the underside and it sounds like its coming from the passengers side rear, i thought it was the exhaust banging off the crossbar but i have put new rubbers on and its still doing it :/ anyone else have any ideas what it could be? really bugging me!

Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 from looking at it no, everything looks spot on under the car! Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 whats the best way to check if the shock is knackered ? Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 get some one to bounce the car while you look to see if you can fined it normally works well. It could be the shocker top mount thats causing the banging, theres not that much on the rear to cause a noise, top mount, bottom mounting on the shock, axle mounting bush to the body and the panard rod bushes.

Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 cheers rob ill get the strut off over the weekend see if i can see anything! Quote
Idrees Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Does it have an aftermarket panhard rod fitted? It may have come loose somewhere, that causes a knocking noise.Another thing (but more unlikely) - look underneath the rear axle by getting under the car. You should see a metal round bar running along the axle (inside the axle), see if that's broken anywhere. That broke on an old GT I had and it causes a horrible noise, took a while to find out what the problem was though! As I said though, unlikely it's that but it's worth a try if everything else is ok.

Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 cheers iddy ill have a propper look this weekend! fingers crossed its only something small and thats not gunna cost! Quote
Bluebear Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 My rear shocks are banging like fuck, but no obvious leaks etc. Terrible on the road though, going round uneven corners is the worst, skips about a bit! Quote

Idrees Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 We could supply replacement bushes, I'll price them up tomorrow They look like Teins, I assume you don't know what model they are? Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 if you could iddy that would be amazing! i have no clue what they are tbh. im not sure if they are just painted as there are loads of other parts painted in the same green! Quote
