Hey just today I started hearing a shallow knock at the right rear tire area of my s13 its not just when braking nor only on bumps its consistant and drivin me nuts stuck my head under and everything "looks" ok. Possible axle? Bushing? Brake part? Any ideas or similar issues and visually (at least on the front facing) coil spring does not apear to be :confused: Ecracked or mis-seated any input would be awesome thanks

Check your tire, you may have picked up a bolt. I know someone that picked up a u bolt a few years ago, tire still held air but it did thump pretty loud. Also check wheel bearings, and make sure an axle isn't self destructing.
