clunking rear end

[turbopath]

Ok, so I threw on the ome coils and shocks in the rear and now it clunks whenever I hit bumps. It's not bottoming out or anything, just some kind of rattly clunk that's driving me insane. Any ideas what could cause this? It doesn't make the noise no matter how hard I rock the path on the ground. Only when it gets a good bump (which there are a lot of out here).

The clunking could be the shocks. Did you use the collars on the bottom shock mounts? If so, you should have noticed that the collars aren't long enough to span the gap on the lower shock mount bracket. I actually used some large washers between the bracket and either side of the shock bushing to help span the gap. How tight did you tighten the lower bolts?

 

Also, the bolt outside diameter seems to be just a little smaller than the inside diameter of the collar. That could contribute to the clunking.

 

Check those things and see if that helps.

hmm....I bet it's the shocks then. I think I used whatever was on the original shocks to install the ome shock, but I'm betting that could be it. I did torque it down with my impact, so it's tight. I have a bad habit of doing it by feel.

ya there might be play in the shocks, i know on the bottom mount i had to use a couple of washers.
