When i drive my s13 coupe and hit a bump or hole, i can hear like a chain noise on the rear.Better describe as coin change sounds. I have no idea what can it be. I replaced my wheel bearing but still keep hearing it. Its on the rear what could it be? Only hear it when i hit bumps or holes. Sound like chain noise or Coins change.
Thanks

^^^ What he said. When I bought my car it had atleast $0.85 in change in the back. I like to call it a rebate. :biggrin: Anyways, if nothing is back there, jack up the rear of your car a start yanking and shaking stuff to see if it's loose. Remember, if you shake it 3 times your playing with yourself. :chuckle:

Edit: Ahh just remembered. Our cars, much like ALL cars, comes with a scissor jack and wrench. Also if you have a hatch, they randomly have straps and buckles bolted down to the trunk. Maybe some are loose and are flying around everywhere when you hit bumps.

I will check my truck and see what i find. Will check for loose things on the rear suspension too.This reminds me of a thread we(crx owner) had on our community. Things found from previous owners on our crxs. I found some pills on little bangs and white powder behind the rear panels. I was like :ohno: lol.

haha I see well see if the noise is gone when I replace them with my coilovers. I bought the powered by Max pro coilovers for 1560 shipped. They also have the powered by max competition coilovers for 1000. If you are in a budget and looking for some good coilovers get PBM competition. website poweredbymax.net They have the competition in stock right now in cali so you'll get em within a week. The pro are out of stock so they are getting a shipment this mounth(August) been waiting since last month lol.he pro are out of stock so they are getting a shipment this mounth(August) been waiting since last month lol.
