Heard a crunch in the rear
 
Put spacers on a few weeks ago to get rid of the awful stock "sunken in" appearance. Took a sharp turn at only 15 mph this morning on the way to work and heard a loud metal clunk in the rear over my loud music. Turned hard again to recreate it and heard it again. Got out to inspect and one of the rear wheels has the suspension sitting 1/2" lower than the other side. I'm hoping that I'm just parked on uneven pavement?

I was going to be doing my brakes tonight anyways at my buddy's house, so what should I be looking for? I'll check the torque of the spacer lugs, could this be making the noise? Are there any weak points of the rear suspension I should be aware of?

Thanks!

If one side is sitting lower, that sounds like a spring lost it's place on the perch. Very unlikely, but just verify it sits nicely on the perch. Other candidates may be binding swaybar bushings, a loose strut top hat (very unlikely as well).

I'd give the suspension some tugging all over and see that everything looks normal. Likely has nothing to do with your spacers unless they're coming loose, but you can check that they're snug easily enough. Let us know what you find!
