rear end noise when hitting small bumps

[@billastley8878]

Very well done. Straight to the point. Very helpful tips for removing when stuck. The book always makes it sound easy but you had a good idea using the vice grips when the Allen key didn't work. Thanks very much!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah that Allen always end up twisting or stripping the inside

Good job! I put corrosion preventative on mine when I have bolts out from various places. You are a good instructor

[@adu146]

yup, im liking the video for the outstanding camera angles and for being a life saver!

[@jonrandall5490]

good job. Nice clear video. I did the drivers side on my '07 Lexus ES 350, but still have the noise, so I guess I have to do the passenger side too. You are right, they ain't easy to remove. Gotta be much easier up on a lift tho. Nice video. Thanks !

[@RBTheMechanic]

Jon Randall heating the bolt makes it easy ... do the sway bar bushings also that should take care of rumbling noise if ur having that if not then you might have to look in to strut/mounts hopefully it dosent get to that point ...please subscribe also subscribe to my other channel here’s a link kzbin.info/door/vqsPzqAZfVv_gjBYUFqNdg

[@jonrandall5490]

@@RBTheMechanic I've done the sway bar linkage now on both sides on the rear of my '07 ES 350, and it did remove about 75% of the clunking noises heard over even small bumps. I'm not sure where the sway bar bushings are ? Aren't they at the bottom of the linkage that I just replaced ? Happy to subscribe to anything you have, RB ! Great job !

Jon Randall the lower bolt that connects on linkage u follow that bad it has mounting point with bushings I’ll send u a link for another video it’s similar

Hello Car Doctor, have you ever changed such bushings to a Avensis(2003 year model T22)?Between the rear bolt sockets in the subframe there is a pipe between rear subframe sockets(that holds the subframe in the mainframe) that is bolted to the mainframe, when i try to release the subframe it stays up cause the pipe is holding it in the mainframe, what is this pipe called?I cant find any information about it, and mine is so rusty it doesnt really do anything.I need to know this cause i need to order a new pipe or does it matter if i take it off?I can send some pictures in the email, i really dont understand whats the use of that pipe, its not full metal, its hollow in the middle.The pipe connects to the rear sockets in the subframe, its maybe a somesort of balancer etc?

[@RBTheMechanic]

No I have not sounds like somthing super fun aka complicated

[@VorssaGaming]

​@@RBTheMechanic Yea its totally confusing, cant find any info about it from repair manuals either, i guess i need to remove and remake it, its only a pipe with ears on both ends wich connect to the rear subframe threads+the little tag in the middle of the pipe that connects to the mainframe itself..

I had a Honda Accord which I just installed new rear springs and ended up with a creaking noise on the driver rear area. It turned out I had over tightened a few bolts back which caused the creak. I bought a new torque wrench and tightened all things back there to spec and no more noise.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice!!! I hd car last week customer came to me with Audi he had installed no arm ball joint shocks and 2 other arms but he complained this noise clunk I checked and checked and checked then I told him $800 he said why so much and what it is I told him $800 and I’ll tell u then u decided if u wanna do it or not but it will be another $800 so he said do it but guranteee fix I said yes And I took out my torque wrench and torqued all the bolts and no more clunk. I ended up charging him $290. He was very happy and he said what it was. I said ur other mechanic need to invest in torque wrench so he can do the job properly and all I did was retighten all the bolt to torque spec

I have mercedes benz GLC 250D premium AMG Line. It is making clunk/knock noises over a rough road from the rear end inside the boot. After a diagnostic from the local garage, they assumed it was a shock absorber or something in the suspension. I couldn't find out yet. Any solution, please?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well u need to check and start with basic and prime suspect is sway bar link or shock

Did you find a solution yet?

My 2009 Lincoln MKZ makes a clunking noise even over a small bump at low speed. It sounds like a hollow beer keg was in the trunk; I checked. I bounced on the rear of the car and the shocks seems great and no clunking. Shoved the rear side to side and no clunking. I then opened the trunk, stood inside and jumped up and down like an ape; my wife shook her head and shut the garage door. ANYWAY, I am fairly low IQ guy with respect to car mechanics so, in the rear, I have shock absorbers, struts, sway bar linkage, and bushings??? Is this correct? Anything else that could be contributing to this issue? I related to what you were saying in the video so may I want to investigate the rear sway bar linkage/ "bushings"? I want to research each potential root cause and, if more than one, prioritize what I can before I go to some of our neighborhood auto shops and become the "fat hog" in "Deliverance". Your video was the only one I really liked so I hope I can get some feedback.

My Hyundai Eon car , makes the clunking noise at the right side of its rear end whenever it goes through bump or off-road route , I wonder is this the only solution? Because , despite having good shockups and spring , my mechanic can't figure it out how is it happening? My mechanic always suggests me to change the shockups & struts.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well I would first pin point the problem as u can see this was making noise u can alway remove the links and drive the car and see if noise goes away then it’s the strut or strut mount

[@keithvien528]

I have a question... how can a rear suspicion get stuck in the normal position and be completely solid? It won't move from the wheel at all. Every bump I hit feels like a punch in the back from mine Tyson. Please reply any mechanic?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well once the car is up in the air the struts will push the suspension back to stiff position but use pry bar to fish around to see where the play is also. One thing u can check is the strut and strut mount but that’s somthing need to be removed and check

[@keithvien528]

I appreciate the reply but there is no play at all in the whole system. It's like a welded steel bar from the body to the wheel. It's the weirdest thing I've ever felt

I don’t think it caused by coil overs unless u left it loose other wise part was ready to go out

[@NjBoriG35]

@RBTheMechanic I noticed the sound didn't happen when I originally installed it. Only after lowering it cuz I felt they were too high. Also curious because after I believed I set them all up the same height ironically the rear driver side which is the one that is making the noise is the one that is a about a inch higher then the rear driver side. Making me think something else has to be wrong. I set the preload correct. It basically sounds like if I left the trunk open and every time I hit a bump the loose trunk is banging. Best way to explain it
