I think somethings broken at the back :(

[Rory525]

Was driving round a flat , smooth corner today at like 10mph and heard a loud boing noise from the back of the car.

Since then I can hear clunking as its going over the bumps , something must have broken. Im guessing its a spring, anybody any other ideas?

Looks like more money to spend :( Will get it up on the ramps 2moro hopefully to have a look.

Sway bar - perhaps only a link gave up... hopefully!

Gas tank strap? I has one let go recently and sounded like that.

Strut mount bushings? Does the car sit normal or does it list to a side or sag in a corner now?

[BillionPa]

if you cant/didnt feel anything, it could be something in the brakes (caliper holddoown bolt fell out) or the exhaust (hanger snapped), or the toolkit opened in the trunk.

first thing i would look at are the rear shock mounts, then the exhaust, then the brakes.

Now it was distinctly a 'Boing'?


not a 'Schpling'?


or a 'Clunk'?


or a 'Knock'?


or a 'Clunk,bang,walla,walla,boinioioioioioioing'?

I'll talk to the Chief and we'll get an APB out on these guys, just to be sure.
Now if you think of anything else you let us know OK.

:D
