well i figured i would see if anyone else has had this problem. I figure its the struts or the strut mounts. When i hit bumps the rear end makes clunking sounds. When i pressed on the rear of the car it wont do it and the struts dont feel bouncy either. Also, one of the struts is leaking alittle so i know its due a replacement. I was just wondering if anyone elses made this type of noise and what exactly it was?

Ive recently started hearing *clunk* *clunk* *clunk* noises from the rear when im slowing down to a stop, but its only when im applying the brakes.. is this a similar problem?


No, that sounds like a bad suspension bushing to me.

I had it checked out by mechanic today, it turns out that the brake pads are wearing out and the noise they start to make acts like a warning device when ur pads are about to go.
*phew* thought it was something more serious, had me real worried
