AussieIan Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I have a noise coming from the rear of my 91 Legacy (FWD). The shop said it was a shock absorber so I replaced both struts. Quess what the clonk is still there. I initially thought it was the board that covers the spare tyre bouncing about, but it wasn't that. Any ideas?

Legacy777 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Are all the suspension components stock? Might be an anti-sway bar, or a bushing on an endlink sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieIan Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 Yes Josh its all stock, and the bushes all look fine. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Have you put it up on jack stands or ramps and gone under there and tried to wiggle stuff around? Short of that.....not really sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea#3 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 AussieIan Did you check the rubber mounts at the top of the struts; they are notorious for delaminating and cause a clunk SEA#3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxsubaru Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 AussieIanDid you check the rubber mounts at the top of the struts; they are notorious for delaminating and cause a clunk SEA#3 Yeah i have heard of this many times. My SVX does this right now, common problem with top mounts on the SVX at least. For the SVX subaru redeigned the top mounts after 92 so they will last longer with out the clunk, noit subaru if this applies to all subes or just the SVX.

SevenSisters Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Wouldn't be the first time the jack was not fastened tightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieIan Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hmmm I assumed that when they replaced the shocks that they would check the mount and bearing plate, that sure sounds like where it is coming from. I removed the jack, spare etc from the boot to eliminate those sources. Also gave everything a good wiggle with no joy when the car was up on stands. Thanks for the replies.

AussieIan Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Well the clonk has beeen discovered and its a first as far as Pedders Suspension are concerned. It was the rear windscreen which is that loose it is moving up and down and clonking against the body. Remakably it isnt leaking!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
