Ever since I lowered my car with the CM Springs, I have been hearing some clunking in the back and I don't know why. I don't hear any up front, just in the back when I drive slow or hit a speed bump. What would be the cause? How can I fix it? My car is going straight as an arrow, nothing is dragging to the left or right, so it can't be the control arms up front. I don't have a anti rear sway bar yet. I'm running my 3" catless DP down with my stock exhaust.

haha my pedders do this sometimes too take out the spring and see if there rightside up aka not upside down and take all of the **** out of your trunk and then drive around with the backseat down it helps alot lol

I hear others who have SSC or CM's don't have this issue. I'm thinking it could be a loosen bolt in the back or its hitting the exhaust. If you remember my other forum, I posted what it looked like underneath.

your positive its not coming from the front? I thought my rattle was coming from the back at first, till I took apart the control arms, bad bushing.

my car isn't dragging left or right. My end links are fine so far. But, I'm gonna get a wheel alignment done and hopefully it will go away.

dont think an alignment will fix it did you get aligned after lowering your car yet tho? always a good thing to do

Troof. Your toe may be off, which won't make your car pull either way, but will cause your tires to wear out quickly.

just thinking it could be a loosen bolt or not tighten down with the shocks or the exhaust is hitting it. but, yes I'm gonna get a wheel alignment done and check to see if the exhaust is hitting or the shocks bolts are loose.

just tell them to torque all your suspension bolts down i always do it when i get an alignment and have them set your air pressure to the same all the way around if you dont your alignment will be off sounds dumb but its true

sounds like a plan to me. gonna spend the $80 to get it done.

I only hear this clunk when I hit a speed bump or drive slow. I don't know if its related to coil bind in the back. I could put the stock springs back in the back and leave the fronts be to isolate the variable.

you could or just sell them and get pedders lol

Exhaust hitting the axel

well it turns out they could be upside down, cause I talked to Tommy about that one. The closets coils should be on the bottom. So, I'm gonna have fun getting that corrected and wheel alignment and should be golden. If I sell anything its gonna be the 3rd gens and I might go back to Depos, have Gestapo paint my rims gun metal.

rear springs on this car is the easiest one bolt and thats it lol pedders were a bitch to fit into the bumpstops tho

putting the one near the stock exhaust was a bitch getting out and putting back on correctly.

i know its not the same, but after i put my sway bars on my ss/sc i have a random pop at times. i have no idea where its coming from.

I did turn them the right way from what Tommy said. Tighten down the shock bolts. So far, I hear a little, but not a loud clunk that heard before. I didn't hear any when I went over speed bumps. So I'm gonna let these settle for awhile.
