Rear suspension popping/clunking noise ??

Suspension
Tanabe Sustec Pro Type II
SPC Cambers
Progress RSB

I had this setup for few months now and starting to hear some kind of popping or clunking noise whenever car is turning at angled level or going over the bumps/potholes at certain angle. Could it be the SPC cambers creating popping noise? Or broken endlink?

You need to grease your RSB bushings. The cold temp is makiing them creak as the rear end flexes.

I had the same problem...try going back in and re-tighten the suspension components in the rear. More than likely it is the end link on the RSB.

Good luck.

I heard that this could be the endlinks. I have this problem too.

I had a clunking noise problem with RSB bushings not greased enough, but its a totally different popping noise. I believe that its somewhat related to either endlinks or camber kit too. This happens when the car shifts motion like taking a turn and some metal popping noise is created.

I have the same noise problem. I've tried and tried to locate it, but no luck. It doesn't do it all the time and it doesn't do it over every bump. It sounds like a "clunK" and a "pop" it sounds like it's coming from the trunk but nothing is loose and I don't have anything it. It's driving me nuts!!!!!!!! I'm nut "up" on cars so I don't know what the camber kit is end links

seems like your having similar noise. sometimes noise seems to come from rear fenderwell if you hear it closely.

I have a rear clunk noise after 3 weeks I had the car and everything was stock.

I think its coming from the rear fender as well. It sounds similar when you take your hand and squeeze the rear fender in the wheel well + the inner lining.

I have the same noise from the right rear, I have the ingalls kit. I thought it was the bushings in the kit and ingalls replaced them but I still have the noise. Im going to check the fender well as all of my suspension components are tight.
