Banging When Going Over Bumps

[Simon Overton]

Seem to be getting a lot of banging from the rear of the car when going over bumps- as sort of clunky sound. Is this likely to be the exhaust or suspension problems?? Many thanks.

99 times out of 100 on Celicas this is the 'D' cup bushes for the rear anti roll bars, It's a very cheap fix and easy to do if your into home mechanics. Anyways, this is definately the first thing to check.

Thanks for the advice- always useful to be in the know before you take the car somewhere- not that hot on mechanics!

it could be your rear suspention mine was making a horriable noise and that is what it was the oil had come out of the leg so am gonna fit my new lot on sat,spax lowering springs,and gas shocks from fensport

also if any one has any info on how easy/hard this is could you let me knoe

i have done this a few times on escorts and other fords but not worked on toyotas before

cheers

changing shocks and springs is easy . just make sure you line the top hat on correctly on top of strut , or u in trouble and have to re do it all . :o

banging is the anti roll bar at rear as said before . i used pdf plummbers tape on bar first , cos visible wear was seen , then replaced new d - cup rubbers. stopped it dead .
