Rear suspension makes "Clunk" noise
Rear suspension makes "Clunk" noise
I've installed the eibach prokit on stock suspension for about 2 months now. From the beginning, I've heard this slight "clunk cluck" when going over a bump coming from the rear right suspension. Didn't think it's a big deal until yesterday when I made a left turn over an uneven surface, i heard this really "loose clunk cluck" noise coming from rear middle or rear right. Oddly, this only happens when I make left turns, so I figured it's most likely to be rear right suspension since weight is shifted to the right when you make left turns. I've checked my trunk for anything loose even in the spare tire compartment, nothing. Anybody have any clue to what may be wrong, strut bar/springs or the multi-link section? Please help, thanks!

I have a similar noise on my car aswell...but i think mine might be from the compartment above the spare tire.....that area moves very easily when hitting a bump. U could try holding that down better with some weight ....and see if it still occurs.....but since urs in only when u make left turns...it might not be the same issue
Make sure your rear sway bar end links aren't broken.
I use to experience this noise only when making right turns. The cause, broken right end link.
I got it replaced under warranty and now, there is no more noise.

you're perfectly right dood, i just came back up from the garage and found the left sway end link snapped into 2
heading over to tustin acura tomorrow to get it fixed along with other issues. btw, do you have any creaks on the front 2 windows? thanks man!-KC
Yea...this is how mine looked like:

As for the creaks, I have slight creaking. They havn't bothered me enough that I had to bring it in.
I'm glad to have helped you with your problem KC.
Later man.

now i really think oem swaybar is nothing but a piece of junk. i hardly push my car to the limits, maybe once since i first got my car and the endlink snapped. i've just got the comptech rear sway ordered this afternoon, hopefully the comptech wont break on me like the oem one.

well your end link broke, the comptech rear sway doesn't replace that. so you'll be stuck w/ another oem one again. make sure you get acura to warranty that before you put the comptech on
