Knocking noise in rear suspension

Rey_Z34 · 03-30-2020, 04:44 PM

There a knocking noise coming from the rear if the car. Don’t hear it when hard braking or hard acceleration. Only when going at a constant speed or when turning hard enough that the body starts to roll.

Have you done any modifications to the rear suspension? Toe bolts, camber arms, etc.

I installed some camber arms a few weeks ago. Car is also lowered.

What brand of arms? Did you get an alignment afterwards?

There were some problems with rear axle bearings making a clicking/popping noise, IIRC. Might be worth investigating.

The rear stub axle nuts might need tighten. There is a few DIY on it.
