Noise coming from springs

Please Help

About 8 months ago, I had CT springs with stock shocks installed on my CL-S and for some reason the right rear springs makes intermittent clunking noise when traveling over bumpy road or while going over speed bumps(slow roll off the bump). The other three corners dont even peep. What could be wrong? The shocks are fine and no evidence of leak. I cant reproduce the noise by pushing down on that side of the car.

the springs were installed at the San Antonio, TX Acura dealer. I now realize that the paper work states no warranty. Does that mean for the work done or for the warranty on the shocks/springs.

Any advice welcome

did you check to make sure they are not broken? see if the rubber isolators are on the rear coils.

From my research and from my own personal experience the front right CT springs are the weakest/worst.. First I'd check to see if they are Silver or Black.. If they are black you should be fine.. If they are silver then inspect for any rust spots and check the thread below if there are any rust spots..

I agree….
I had to get the bushings lubricated on my Sway Bars after about a year because they were squeaking at times.
