Flynn Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I've got brand new coil overs in all 4 corners but the cars got a dull metallic knocking at the rear left corner but you can kind of feel it through the floor.Exhaust is pretty solid and it doesn't need much movement to cause the noise, kind of feels/sounds like a side to side movement that's causing it but everything under there feels tight?Recently fitted a panhard rod but I hadn't driven the car before doing everything to be able to pin point if it's something I've changed or something that needs replacing like a bearing or worn bushes or whatever........any ideas?

morgey Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 When does it do it? soeed bumps, cornering at speed, gear changes/acceleration/deceleration Something to check is the metal bar inside the rear beam. I think i read some one had snapped one of them somehow Quote
Flynn Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 I notice it at slower speeds but hammer down (with a noisy bugger under the bonnet) and road noise from the bare rear you don't notice it. Imagine the noise if you shake a fridge lol.....but duller Quote
daniel_g Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 What kinda axle bushes you got? Standard or poly? Quote
Flynn Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Standard I think mate I've not changed them or really had a good look to be honest? Quote
Flynn Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Got a Glanza rear beam I was gonna fit so have pretty much just wacked new coils on the back Quote
daniel_g Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 The rear beam bushes can go which would give you that kinda noise.Think its powerflex or something do a rear bush kit, id just poly bush the lot and hopefully it goes away haha Quote
daniel_g Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Also the panhard rod bushes can wear and give a similar noise, but youve just fitted that so probably wont be that! Quote
Flynn Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 It's not a bad call I'm hoping it's not a dud coilover.........fuck it I'm going out to get it in the air again, have a proper look! Quote
Flynn Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Yeah it's a cusco one I got off lew777 and it's only a couple of years old.....cheers for your input though man I'm going for a crawl! Quote
daniel_g Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Hopefully not a fucked coilover being that new, same with the panhard! Quote
Flynn Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Remembered I've got some TRD rear bushes but it's a cunt of a job getting the old ones out isn't it? Quote
daniel_g Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Remembered I've got some TRD rear bushes but it's a cunt of a job getting the old ones out isn't it?If you cant press them out, ie with a G clamp or something then its hammer, chisel, hacksaw or fire lol.Do the ones on your spare beam and fit that?
