Basicly i have a bad knocking sound coming from my rear suspension, i have a gt4 but would imagine the set up is similar to sr,s and gt,s.
I was just wondering if any of you guys may have had a similar problem? when the car is on its wheels and driving the noise is quite bad when you go over a bump, but when i put my car on a ramp at a friends garage and the wheels were just hanging when i tried to move them up and down there was no noise  also tried puttin a lever bar under the wheels and when an inch off the ground and levering suspension up to listen for noise but nothing?I can not work out if it is the top mount that has gone or the dampers? Any help would be appreciated Brody |

when you take it to a mechanic what your likely to hear is.
"well it appears you need to replace your rear struts... but thats not all your strut plate is also broken... which lets your strut wiggle all over the place creating that knocking noise you heard. of course well get the parts through toyota, so your going to get the shaft naturally. Then we will replace your struts and strut plates it'll prolly cost bout $600." -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]
