my friend's 06 does that only on rear passenger side... gets annoying after a while... i haven't checked it out to see if it's the shock, spring, or some bushings squeeking...

100% normal. watch another vehicle go over the speed bump and you'll hear the same thing.

Given the OP's post history I wouldn't be suprised if it was the latter, sad to say because he's located near me. He's lucky he doesn't own a 240SX, if he posted the way he does here on zilvia.net he'd get flammed on a daily basis.

just for your FYI...used to own a s13 built it my self too ground up...till i sold it.then i got this box. i've had a very long gap on working on cars.iam starting to get rusty ever since i got this car...so pretty much this is all new to me again trying to recap and understand everything properly.and i haven't really experianced looking at forums. because i never look up into forums before.and i just do what's in front of me and try understand it with no guidance and without anyone telling me what's wrong with it. can't stare at a screen for more than 2 hour's looking and asking for something so simple.

Thats nice you've owned an S13, but that doesn't change the fact that if you posted on Zilvia.net the same way you do here you would be flammed on a daily basis, they're proud to be considered a forum full of @$$holes. Scionlife is a forum full of friendly people, IMHO too friendly.
