Noise from the Rear

Post by IanL »

I get a couple of "bonks" when I pull away from rest with a sharp right - sounds like it comes from the left rear - I think they are too separated in time to be from the drive shafts (that's a sort of rapid clicking I think?). Has anyone else had this, please?

Thanks for the suggestion. Could you suggest what the trouble with the stabiliser link might be? i.e. what should I be looking for?

they're prolly just going and need to be replaced, they were $80cdn each :eek: , and i had to replace both<p>It was a kocking noice i heard mostly during bumps, and was intermitent. What i did to make sure is that i would push down on the car over each rear tire, quickly and as far as i could, and it made that sound
