It's been a week with my new rims/tires and just tonight on the way home I noticed on the highway whenever the road gets bumpy a little rather when I hit a small pot hole or little bumps my rear driver tire sounded like it was flat or tire maybe torn. I pulled over to the shoulder and checked it and it was fine. And I kept driving it til I got home and all of sudden it got worse and whenever it gets little bumpy knocking noice from rear driverside wouldnt stop. Do you guys think it's blown strut? or wut? I had my agxs for about 7 months I could get an replacement under warrenty? what should i do??

thanks,

sounds like a dead upper strut mount

 

is there anything I could do to check what exactly is wrong?

thanks,

Aren't upper strut mounts in the front only? His problem was in the rear, I have a messed up/blown upper strut mount on my drivers side front strut assembly, and the worst that happens is the squeaking when I turn and hit bumps, geting the new mount in a few days, around $35. If I were you, get the warranty, tell them your problem, you should be fine.

 

Any way to see if it's the actual strut thats causing it?

 

shock leaking?.. put it to setting 1.. and push the car down and listen to the shock. does it bounce more than normal. does it sqeak?. if it does.its blown. compare it to the side that isnt blown set at 1. if your drop isnt more than 1.5 inches.. kyb should replace it. so their warranty says.. u have to had beent eh original purchaser with prrof..

 

who do I call for replacement??

 

Also look for fluid leaking from the strut itself..... If you see any kind of oil or fluid on the strut, Its blown...... Call KYB and find out about replacement strut under warranty..... Just find the warranty papers and your original receipt cor contact info for KYB
