Noisy Suspension

[dyefuker]

hey all, my suspension in my r33 gtst is relitivly stock, with after market springs that came in the car wish

importing it, and a few bushes replace, since i got the car 2 years ago mainly the rear struts

with really quick sharp bumps they are really noisy, like a clunking noise, get it sometimes from the

front end too, from what i can see theres nothing lose or not right under the car, and iv checked the tops of the struts and the bolts

arnt lose, i have no idea where the noise is coming from, is there any bearings on the tops of the towers that could possibly

be stuffed? if anyone has any sugestions on this id be apreciated.

cheers, Rob.

could it be lack of lube on the bushes?

i dont think so, the noise more comes from the rear shelf area, my first thought was the bolts for the top of the struts were

lose, but yea wasnt the case, im tempted just 2 pull the whole rear suspension apart and see what i find, if anything

clunk at the top of the strut is almost always because the nut on the main shaft is too loose. work out howto hold the shock shaft and then crank it down nice and hard

cheers for the reply, i actually pulled all my shocks and springs front and rear out on the weekend, and yea what u said was right. i got another 4 turns on the front middle shock nuts and aobut 2 turns on the rear, they were lose as all buggery, who ever changed the springs in japan did a shit job of it, there was no seals between the chassy and shocks eitther, so i made up 4 gaskets 2 seal that up and cleaned everything up, turned out my springs are blue! lol never knew, and idea what brand springs would be blue from japan?
