View Full Version : Noise from rear end/passenger side

I am hearing a sound, hard to describe exactly, but sounds kind of like a clicking noise from the rear of the car. I think I can isolate to the passenger side rear.
Issue presents when travelling over uneven roads, or making turns. Noise occurs when turning right, but not left.
Thought the issue might be the end links. Replaced the OEM end links with White Line end links, issue still presents.
I am running an upgraded rear sway bar - JBR, but am also running the upgraded Tru Tortion billet sway bar brackets and bushings.
Thought about the possibility of a damaged sway bar bracket, but that likely would have been noticed while the new end links were being installed.
Any ideas ?

I recently had a clicking coming from the rear of the car, turns out the brake backing plate had bent slightly and was making contact. Bent it back straight and noise is gone.
I'd check it out first before thinking suspension.

I would also check the rear springs. They can rust through at the bottom leaving a couple of inches of spring bouncing around in the mount.

Thanks, hadn't occured to me.

Will have the springs looked at, though they are Swift Spec R springs, and I have not heard of that issue with Swift springs.

Springs are common, but not while turning. Definitely could be the backing plate especially cause it’s only turning one way that it makes noise.
Also check the upper strut mount in the rear. The aluminum is bad for cracking.

Check your trailing arm bushings before replacing anything. [emoji1360][emoji3]

Hey Ami any resolution to this issue? I'm now getting a clicking from my rear driver's side, (but occurs constantly). Can't find what is causing it at first inspection. Have a bad feeling it may be the bearing though.
