Ok this has been driving me nuts for the past week. While I was driving I ran over a "SMALL" pot hole, like something you would hit everyday during normal driving. After that I started to hear a Knocking/Clunking noise comming from the left rear drivers side. So I thought ok wtf... so I took it to toyota and told them I thought the strut might be blown. They said they would look at it. I get it back 2 hours later and they said my suspension was fine and it was my exhuast moving around. However I beg to differ... I went home started messing with my exhaust moving it and kicking it a little to see if it would make some noise however noise couldn't reproduce the same sound that I was hearing while im driving. I seriously doubt that toyota even looked at anything. Now I thought oh ok might be my hotchkis sway bar.. I checked the endlinks and every bolt and they were all very tight. Only thing I have not done is taken the sway bar completly off and grease up where the rubber brushings were.. but I don't think thats whats making the sound becuase its not a squeeking sound but a clunking/knocking noise.

Maybe if I could access the top bolts to my rear strut I could tighten it down becuase I really think it has something to do with my rear shock and spring? Anybody have any suggestions on what to do? And how would I access the top nuts to my rear suspension?

 

Fixed!! I finally had a friend help me locate the source of the problem. Least to say toyota probably didn't even look at my car. F****** B*****S!!

 

Well... what was it?
