Went for a trip home over holidays. Sudbury. Roads are soooo bad there it's insane. I've no idea how ppl live there with lowered cars. My car is extremely stiff, the roads made me feel like I was gonna blow a kidney.
Anyway. That being said.
Now back home. Got a clunkity in the back passenger side. Took it all apart last night. Tightened rear sway link (they're only 4mo old). Made sure shock "hat" is tight. Made sure lca bolt is tight. Everything WAS tight. With car jacked up. I put wheel back on and pulled up and released the wheel (to try to simulate suspension travel) and I can actually feel the very slight clunk. It feels like it's at the top of the shock. So I remove the shock hat to ensure the bolt on top (nut on shock to shock hat), is tight. I didn't feel any travel or feel it was loose. So I just buttoned it all up and called it an evening.
Scratching my head about this one.
Only other thing I'm thinking is lca bushing?? But why does it feel like its happening near the top shock hat??
I had it all apart in September to install the coilovers. New eurothane sway bar bushings. New links.
Any thoughts?
Trying to just hold out till warmer weather. I just don't want to destroy anything before that warmer weather actually gets here.
