GT86 - Strange Knocking Sound
Hey all
So last month I pulled the trigger and got myself a gorgeous 2014 GT86 Limited and have zero regrets (even while awkwardly getting in and out of the car ... haha) ... There is 1 issue though, there seems to be a knocking sound coming from the rear somewhere, only really noticeable on bumpy roads. Sounds almost as if a cable was drooping and swaying and with bumps it is swinging into the body ... but I can't really pin point it ... Has anyone heard of this before ? ... I though it was the wing at first, but that sucker is bolted on solid as can be, I will be getting some double sided foam to try stop the no.plate from rattling ... but yeah ... still can't figure this one out. Regards |

Definitely not a normal sound though I checked the spare tyre and the jacks, etc. All seems fine to me. Really hoping it isn't something like a strut/mount ... Car seems far too new to have those issues (24k on the clock) Quote:
Will check that out on my next day off (when ever that is) ... Sounds very similar actually !! Quote:
I will check out what I can with my limited tech knowledge, planned to take it to get checked out if I don't come right soon |

Well everything looks stock on the outside so the suspension probably is. There have bee several reports of improperly installed TRD lowering springs causing a noise like you describe. Take a look at the springs. Are they red?

Does your car have the little emergency escape handle on the inside of the trunk hatch? Mine always pops out of place and makes an annoying plastic hitting metal sound.

Have you checked the trunk for dead bodies? Kidding, but let us know what the cause is once you find out. I hear all kinds of noise in my FR-S but just kind of tune it out now.
