Weird knocking noise?
 
So last week I started hearing a strange knocking noise whenever I turn or go over bumps. Its only on the left back side that i hear it. Any ideas on what it could be?

How loud is it and is there a pattern of the knock sound exactly?

Got to climb under the car, could be lots of stuff. For me, I had to retighten the sway bar end links, and once the PHB adjuster nut backed off. Loctite is my friend now

Its not repetitive, and it doesnt do it every turn or bump. It very random. And its loud enough for me to question what it is when listening to the radio. Ive checked my sway bar already, im pretty sure its not that.

Isn't there a TSB for somthing like this?

NikkiDawson 03-05-2014 04:11 PM

Check and make sure the axle weights are tight. Also, what are your mods?

NikkiDawson 03-05-2014 05:55 PM

Ill check that out to see. I havent added any mods besides flowmasters and wheels.

May also be time to grease the sway bar bushings also

I have had to adjust my flowmaster axle backs they were causing an occasional rattle and knock.. drove me crazy till I saw the witness marks.. A little force applied and problem solved..

How many miles on car? Could be a bad shock maybe.

x2. That was my next suggestion. My axle weights came loose at around 15k miles. Took me forever to figure it out. I started banging things with a rubber mallet and was like AHHHhhhh when I hit the weight. haha

Theres 20,000 miles on it. I havent heard it for a couple days. I thought it might be my mufflers, it makes the same sound when idling. Also thought it could be the shock, i bought it preowned. I was planning on putting the eibach strut and shock kit on it.

Hope it's something simple. Maybe first owner had suspension mods and took them off to sell the car, and they could of left something loose. Maybe just recheck all the bolts for control arms. Could be exhaust though.
