rear rattling/clunking suspension noise - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ceebo · 06-25-2013, 04:39 AM

I just put on agency power rear lower control arms and got my alignment done so I wouldn't have tire wear. now the rear is making rattling noise on the passenger side. The funny thing is I hear it even when im going like 10 mph, but when I go on the freeway theres no noise. I never had this noise before I put the control arms on. anyone experience this problem? I wonder if I got crappy coilovers.

thanks, i'll try that but it just don't make sense as to why the noise started only after i put the control arms on. In fact the noise is getting even worse

The rear rattling noise is actually coming from the passenger side it sounds like my coilovers is hanging loose. its not rear deck noise, its coming from under the car. I just went to a shop and they said they couldn't figure it out cause they tightened whatever bolts they could find pertaining to the suspension. by the way what rear lower control arms are you running/

Maybe there's some give in the control arms you installed?

The spring on one of the coilover was not at the correct position when the shop was doing alignment. It was a quick fix.

But anyway coilovers will have some noise.
