Default Noise in suspension!

passenger side rear wheel makes some sort of clacking or rattling noise over bumps and ruff surfaces. I have the F Sport supension on my ride. took the wheel off and checked and cleaned all surfaces. Anyone have this problem and if so can you point me in the right direction.


Thanks,

Lazar

clunking noise on the rear passenger side is a known issue with F-Sport springs (do a search on the forum for more info, lots of dicussion in the past). I put on Tein silencers on both of the rear springs, and i only get slight clunk over big dips and potholes. doesn't bother me at all. So this is one solution. Another option is a recent TSB that will replace both the rear springs (see link below for more info). i chose not to do it.

check the endlink, if it's loose, it often makes rattling noises when going over bumps. if not, start going thru the bolts on the various arms in the multilink.

Do you have f-sport springs with stock struts or f-struts too?

On my stock struts, my bearing mount is bad so it makes the same clacking noise.
