Rear Hiting Sound!!

[honda83]

Hey everyone. when hiting a bump or something on my passenager side in the back it makes this annoying loud noise liking something is hiting. but if someone is back there siting and i hit a bump or something it doesnt make a noise at all. i put in new struts and springs and still the same thing. what could it be? i know people would say bushings but they look fine. what else could it be? remember when someone is back on that side siting it doesnt make a noise when hiting a bump or pot hole.

check your rear upper control arm, see if the tire is hitting it, or the fender

make sure nothing is loose, check UCA, make sure tires aren't hitting fender and if so just roll fenders.

o and make sure u have a bumpstop in (bout .5in-1in bumpstop) that will prevent any banging from going over bumps.

well i do got my bump stoper in and the upper control arm doest seem loose or anything. its like if u push on the back it doesnt make any noise but when u drive it thats when it does it. maybe cuz when the wheels goes in a pothole it stratches and when someone sits back there it doesnt make the noise cuz it tightens.so ummm pretty weird.i noticed the rubber that goes under the strut is missing. but its missing on both sides. when my cuz put it in i dont think he put them in for some stupid reason. but the thing is if there both missing then both sides would of been doing it why only one side. so that makes me think its not that.

mine does the same thing..what kind of setup are you running?...

[92exrcoupe]

mine does the same thing too...
im on h&r sports with stock shocks
going to get some koni yellows soon,
will that help fix the problem?

[shawn.hayden]

sounds to me like your strut is bottoming out.

I have a similar problem. I noticed that my springs dont have isolators on them and they tend to hit when i hit a bad bump. Check out the actual springs and see if the coils are touching.

mine makes the same noise. but mine dose it under "zero load", meaning that when i pull into a parking lot where i have to "approch" at an angle. and the inside wheel load is significantly les than the out side. but only happens at a "slow" rate of speed? dose not make the noise when out ripping on back roads. and there has been plenty of times where the inside wheel is completly off the ground during the corner.

the top of the strut is hitting ur back seat brace go and see how much space is there, if u cant fit ur finger between the two, then its that

What part is the spring isolator again? The one that the metal collar passes through? Or the circular rubber piece that goes between the spring and top hat?


On my neuspeed race and koni yellows, I had the spring on the lowest perch and when I raise my rear, the spring easily moves around. Is this bad? Under a load, the spring is firmly in place. This is what causes the noise in my car, maybe it's the same for other people.
