Ever since replacing the (rear) springs & shocks, I have had this really annoying noise from the rear end of the car, which I cannot locate (except that I know it's not inside the boot cause I've taken everything out to check).
When you steer left, it clunks. When you go back to the right (or just straighten up quickly), it clunks again, etc. The noise is hard to explain, but it is sort've higher-pitched, like a metal pipe striking something. I've checked and re-checked, and had my mechanic check the upper/lower control arms (they're fine), the watts link bolts (all fine as far as I can tell), swaybar bolts (fine, maybe a bit too tight?), wheel-nuts (well, SPHELL had a clunking which turned out to be very loose wheel nuts, so I thought I would check
)...
In short, I can find nothing wrong so far, and it has done it almost non-stop, except for a short period when I had 5 people in the car for a long trip up to NSW, where it stopped for some portion of the trip, and about a day after the trip, but then came back (not quite as loud though)
So, if anyone has any idea what could be causing this, I would love to know
Thanks
