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?

Hopefully it is what happened to me cause it was cheap and easy. I had a BAD clunking sound and FINAlly traced it to my rear sway bar bushings. The car was up on a lift and i grabbed the sway bar and I was able to move it easily. I got the parts for i think aroung 8 bucks, and it took me 10 minutes total to swap them out. BINGO!!! I have H&r's and GR-2's, so i thought it was becaeuse of that... did the spare tire thing... the jack... strut mounts... end links and finally the sway bar bushings

Its the two rubber mountson the bar with the end links with brackets and i believe they are 12mm bolts.

are you people blind or just dumb?

read the quote....common people
