Please help me, this is driving me crazy. I hear a clinging/chenging noise, in my 07 TL, at the back passenger side wheel when I hit manhole covers and disturbing potholes and bumps. Has anyone had this experience? The dealer is going to inspect further but they don't know what it is. I hear it while the windows are down.

 

Yeap, I have the same thing. It's the rear brake calipers. If you listen carefully you'll heard that noise when either of the rear tires hit bumps/holes in the road. I get them from both sides, although on the driver's side they seem to be louder. Sounds like a chain banging on something.

Drives me crazy too, but dealer said there's nothing they can do about it, that's how Acura designed the vehicle. Oh also, if you slightly pull the handbrake when hitting bumps you'll notice the sound is gone. Stupid design flaw.

 

The dealer replaced the rear passenger strut and that did not fix the problem.
