hey all, I have a 89 S13 w/ coilovers. I developed a knocking noise ONLY during mild to hard right turns (this knocking is coming from the rear suspension). I figured it was the subframe bushings so today I replaced them with SPL spacers. The problem still exist (though it didn't seem quite as pronounced). Perhaps someone could shed some light on this. BTW, the knocking will increase with the speed while going around a coner. Tell me what u guys think (could it be a different set of bushings)?

This could definately be a set of bushings, my car is doingthe same thing in the front and its my T/C Rod bushings, im sure of it. This month im going in to replace them, they are SHOT and one of the first set of bushings to go out on our 240SX

did you buy your coilovers new? and are all of the collars tight? mine were loose before, and used to pop around if i was on a slope at the right angle.
