I get this loud metallic "*****" noise from the rear when I go over bumps in the road at speed. Any ideas? [B]

 

Front struts. I had that until I repalced them.

 

^^he said coming from the rear....rear struts

 

My bad

If you have lowering springs you probably didnt shorten the bump stops. Could be the rear *SHOCKs* . .

 

sounds a bit racist, dont you think?

 

I agree, try "CLINK". . . or clunk. . just say metal on metal. .

 

LoL, you are horrible at describing noises.


Sometimes, when i press on my steering wheel hard enough, i get a honkey honkey sound

 

Or maybe a slurpy slurpy. . .hmm, gurgle gurgle. . hahahaha. .(laugh laugh)

 

Yeah, I guess so. . . that's just what I think when I hear the noise. No racism intended. . .

But you think it's just the shocks worn out?

 

very good chance

 

lol thats funny

 

I've heard a noise similar to that when the nut on top of the strut piston was not tightened to spec. I also had another case where the nut worked itself loose after 1/2 a year. Since then, I use thread-lock on them. Pretty crucial equipment, so threadlock is my insurance.
