I am having some suspension issues. When i drive over a rough patch of pavement or even accelerate in a turn i hear some clunking going on in the rear end. I think it is the back left but acoustics in cars can be deceiving. It gets bad when i turn to the left, leading me to think it is the sway bar?

Any thoughts?

 

get it up on a rack and look.. its really simple.. i heard noises out of the front end on my car and on a rack i can see three outta four upper control arms bad..

 

and hey, ill have a good used k03 turbo for that passenger blown one in a few weeks if your interested.... ;-)

 

thanks, hopefully ill have enough for some k04's in a little bit.

 

i doubt its the issue but a common problem with my old e36 was a busted rear shock mount caused a clunking noise. check the bushings on the sway bar but it could easily by a control arm too

 

check

 

Like said before get you car up on a rack but rather then looks shaking the tire and see if there is any play. Most likely a bushing or maybe a bearing of some sort has gone bad. Don't forget to check the sway bar.

 

thats what i think it is. ill get it on the rack.

 

Loose swaybar is my bet. I've had CV boot issues as well, but that may just be in front.

 

i think it is the sway bar because when i turn to the left, making the car lighter on the left side, it gets worse.
