Driver side rear has a thump/clunking sound when going over bumps and rough roads. sounds like things rolling around an empty trunk. take everything out, and sound is still there. pushing down on the body, right above the rear wheel, recreates the thump/clunk.

while i was under the car changing the diff fluid, a friend noticed that the springs were covered in gunk/dirt.

thats when i realized that the dirt buildup may be a combination of oils form the shocks + dirt from daily driving.

looked over to the left suspension and it was clean.


thoughts? TIA

i am the friend that was under the car.

i never knew a blown shock would make thumping noises...but i think that crud buildup is a dead giveaway.

post a picture or something.

in the end you're gonna have to take it into the dealer anyway since you have the extended warranty.

go to the dealer man.

i just want to make 100% sure what it is before the dealer gives me another "$500 to tear down estimate to determine the true cause" bullcrap

i believe suspension is a wear item so going to the dealership will not help.

that's what i said, but with extended warranty you might as well ask.

Mr. Eryozgatliyan

Are you lowered?

not if you blew a seal while the rest are still good.
