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.

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?

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??
