weird sound on my rear shocks...some one help plzzz - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #69961 8 posts Started by diegohiga
ok since i replaced my stock springs to dropzone springs it started making weird sound on the back each time I through bouncy places... and it makes louder noise when I am driving slower...
I thought it was the shock so i replaced them for Monroe shocks.... but still making noise... and the problem are just the rear ones.... anyone have any idea what could be wrong??
Did you regrease when you assembled? Your top mounts can be making noise, but you're going to need to describe the noise before we can help.

No i didnt regrease.. and the sound is like metal to metal is touching..could be the spring? when the spring shrink it hit the same spring? but the front ones are good...
Did you properly seat the spring when you placed it on the strut? There are little grooves that they're supposed to sit in. Do you have bump stops on too?

Did you make sure you bolted everything up nice and tight or at least to spec?
And did you ensure you had spring seat isolators, if not new at least in good condition?
if you are hearing it from the top of the strut, it is the 3 bolts are not tight or the center nut.
