Clunking passenger rear

Smgs1992 · 06-02-2020, 06:25 PM

So I decided to try out launch control for the first time today. I just spun. Anyway I just went to run some errands and noticed at low speeds there's sometimes a clunking sound coming from the rear passenger side. I'm not sure if something broke when i used LC or something is just loose. What should i be looking for?

Nothing at all? Really?
Drove it again and when backing up it feels like something is hitting and definitely broken. Otherwise going forward it drives fine except for the clunking sound going over bumps.

Maybe the rear sway bar. Check for any loose bolts

I hate when I hear noises, rattles, or squeaks. I have a rattle coming from the upper trim of my rear passenger side window driving me crazy. I’m waiting for my Indy shop to reopen.

I hope the both of us remedy the issues.

First just poke around under the car on that side and see if you can see anything obviously amiss. Compare to the other side as well. If nothing, jack up, remove the wheel, and poke further. There are all sorts of things that could have been on their way out and were 'pushed over the edge'
