Ok heres the problem, my car clunks when im going to bumps and rocky bumpy roads but not on a straight roads. So I put some sub frame collars on it but it dosent help. then I rise my car and move everything below my rear sub frame. and when I try to move this (shown on the picture) I can hear like clunking and its moving. Do u think its normal? or its the one causing the clunk sound? How can I fixed it? Thanks!

It's coming from the diff on that side or is it flat out from the axle? Open diff as well?

Clunking is a hard noise to distinguish haha. Ummmm it could be your springs compressing. I know this often happens with aftermarket suspension. If its a constant thump it could be a bad rear hub. If you accelerate hard (jab the gas) and you hear a clunk it could be your diff locking (which is normal). Besides that just make sure none of your bushings are going bad.

on an open or vlsd it shouldn't make a clunk. When I put in my subframe bushings, I can clearly hear a clunk. I'm already certain it's from the ring gear getting worn which makes me want to go emo. I hope you don't have to go emo with me. *sets a box of razor blades and a hawthorne heights cd next to me*

Ring gear?

[mr2lickit]

If its the springs then its nothing bad, but if you want to get rid of the noise you can buy spring wrap thingys lol (it looks like thick tape that you put around the springs).

[180fan]

yep they've got noise reducing stuff for springs. It looks like a wrap on your spring.

It's from the diff, you may be in for it just like I am.

Where can i get a spring wrap? and how can i install them? i think i have to compress the spring right?
