Had my left rear link replaced early December after 9 months & 10k kms. 10 days later, the clunking came back on the right side. Brought it back to the dealer and they replaced the right rear link.

 

John,

Can you post a pic of the right rear link? Or a really good description?

 

Chromeshadow,
I have no pics , but my understanding from the dealer and other forum threads is that the link kit is the bracket/bushing that connects the rear sway bar to the frame.

 

My rear has been clunking for longer than I can remember, but only when turning with no load on the drive train. Basically when i go to turn into a parking space and have all ready pressed the clutch pedal, it will clunk when I start turning. I always assumed it was the limited slip, because it doesn't do it in a straight line. Did it before the gear install as well.

Good luck, I just gave up and decided to beat on it till something broke. That was 5-6 years ago.

 

Yeah guys ill find out tomorrow when they install it. If it still presits then right back to the dealer

 

Hi Guys

I too am having a problem with a clunking sound which is coming from the rear, sometimes the front but mostly the rear end (both sides). Most noticeable when going up a driveway at an angle. No problems on flat surfaces. I'm the second owner. The first owner dropped the vehicle 1.5" all the way around. Installed Eibach Sportline springs and swaybar but kept the factory shocks and struts. I've had it to numerous shops up on lifts and the clunk cannot be duplicated while on the lift (frustrating). Opinions are all over the place - you need new shocks and struts, you don't need new shocks and struts, etc, etc, etc.
