I recently installed Tokico HP with GF210's and everything is great except Iam noticing a clunking/popping noise from the right rear. Sometime sounds like its from the inside of the car and then other times clearly from the outside.


Anyone have any idea of what this could be.


PS-yes everything is tight and installed correctly

 

Yes, at least that is what you think. But there is a very high chance the top nut on the shock is not tight enough. Those things can be tricky. It will not hurt to take a second look. Talking from personal experience

 

the nut on the shock itself ? the part that is not visible when installed

 

Yes, the nut on top of the shock can cause noise if it's not tight. You can see the nut from the engine bay by the strut bar.

 

It is the rear so the shock will have to be removed and the top nut re-tightened.

 

i got a sound like that from my celica. it turned out the strut blew. It was weird cause i had just installed the strut less that 1k before. If you find that everything is tight i would look into the blown strut problem.

 

had the same issues that was fixed easily.. spring collar not fully locked tight.. try that first.

 

Thanks for all the input guys!!!! It was the nut on top of the strut.
Now its driving perfect

 

Awesome. Good to know you got it fixed. I know the feeling

 

Glad you got it.
