Lately, I have noticed that when I hit bumps my right rear shock/tire makes a very loud noise/bang. This does not happen all of the time and the bump has to be something pretty significant, usually on the highway. It also happens more often when I have a pasenger in the car. I checked where the shock inserts into the shock tower and that looked OK. Any ideas?

are you dropped?

 

No the car is pretty much stock (except AEM CAI).

 

then i don't know what it could be. i knwo i have this noise on my front shocks but i am dropped. and i know its because i have reduced the shock travel a lot and when i go over a big bump or dip my shock bottoms out.

 

I get that noise only when i go over a speedbump. The sound is more dramatic on the rears they're pretty quiet on the fronts. Is that sound normal on stock shocks with lowered springs? (i'm lowered too)

 

Make sure y our spare tire is TIGHTLY tied down.

 

I had a clunk in my front right. I pulled the wheel off tonight and although I couldn't feel any play in the sway bar to A arm link I removed it, WD40'd the threads and reinstalled nice and tight. The clunk has now gone.
