clunking noise

CaliE90 · 11-08-2010, 06:03 PM

Hey guys, I'm not exactly sure what happened but yesterday when I drove the car out the driver's side rear would make clunking noises whenever I go over rough patches on the road. I have kw v2s but I know they're not blown or else my car would be driving like a boat. Anybody have the same thing happen to them or any idea what it is? It kind of sounds like something is loose or something is hitting each other.

Rear upper shock mount. Mine made the same noise and looked like this when I finally replaced them:

Very common on KW's...I hear more and more horror stories about these coils every day

If it's the mounts, you're fine. I tracked my car with bad mounts. They started rattling at the end if the day.
