Guest Tom80 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi! I got a rattling noise from the rear of the car (possibly suspension) on rough roads (doesn't rattle on highways or plan surfaces). I had the trunk lid rubber pads changed, without effect. The car currently runs on 18" rims(they don't touch the inner part of the wheelarches in any way though) with stock springs and absorbers, and has 50 000 kms so far. Does anyone experienced that??

SatSport Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Welcome to the club Tom! I`ve been trying to sort this out for a long while now, have partially succeeded, the front knock has gone, still an annoying rattle at the n/s rear. So far i`ve replaced all the shocks with KYB AGX adjustables, done the rear suspension bushings with comp. items (see here) http://www.tmengineering.net/suspension/r2racing/index.html and recently fitted a rear strut brace. Make sure your subframe bolts are at the correct tightness as well. Top mounts possibly?? Let us know rgds Roy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul -C- Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Probably the subframe bolts. I had the same problem, but it was easily fixed by the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tom80 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Thanks for your replies...I went to the dealer last month, the guy has been driving the car but he didn't feel anything...but I still hear it!! I'll try a different garage. I'll let you know if I find smthg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Check your ARB drop-links and top suspension mounts (among all the other things mentioned in this thread). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
