Hello,
I've been trying to chase down the source of this noise coming from the back of my car. It's a banging noise, like if a spare tire was not secured in place. It happens going over rough roads. I don't think it's the struts -- I've taken them out numerous times and they feel fine, besides it sounds further back than the strut towers, maybe closer to the passenger side.
As troubleshooting steps, I've taken out the spare and removed the subframe bolts -- no change. I have not tried disconnecting the sway bar yet, that may be my next step. Do you guys have any ideas or tips? Could it be a bad bushing or mount? I've been thinking of doing some new bushings anyway, haven't investigated which ones yet though.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Stan
