Clunking? Any ideas?

[5speedSHO]

Well i just bought my SHO a while back (i introduced my self in the newbie forum)... and it supposedly has new shocks and such. but im hearing alot of road noise/clunking coming from the rear passengers side suspension. The car isnt bouncing around like it has blown shocks or anything though. I havent got the car in the air yet to check it out.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Is everything tightened down?

i reallly dont know, i havent had time to get it up in the air... my bet is something is loose too. but i thought someone might have another idea... or a common problem i didnt know about

Something similar happened to my cousin on his SHO. (PAracer) The clunk in his car was coming from a defective Tokico. You might want to take that into consideration. After making sure everything is tightened down like LOUDSHO said. If tightening isnt the fix you might want to take it off and send it back to the company. IF they are Tokico's

Good Luck

What shocks do you have?

I have a 93 Sable which had the same problem. Struts appeared to be good and noise persisted after sway bar links were replaced (rusted off) so I decided to try new struts. Found the top mounts for the struts were bad once everything was disasembled - the bushing on the rod was completely seperated from the rubber and a slot was worn into the rubber up to a sheet metal plate. This allowed the strut to rattle side-to-side. I can email a picture if you send me a private message with your email address since I cannot post attachments.
