So I was driving last night in the pouring rain so I couldn't see the road all that well. I ran over what must have been a huge pot hole because my car got screwed up! No flat tire or anything, for that I'm lucky.

But now, something around the rear right tire (which is where I ran over the pot hole) is moving around as if it's loose or broken off of something. I can hear it inside the car when I'm driving and it kind of sounds like something is loose and is movign around hitting other things.

Any ideas as to what it could be and how to check for it?

 

My guess is a broken strut mount[:@]. Mine broke once to,it's not to much $$ to fix though.Might as well do rear struts if you have more than 100k. Good luck

 

It's weird though becuase it doesn't seem to affect the driving any. I guess I'll tell my dad once it stops raining and my car doesn't smell like cigarettes...

Any good aftermarket rear struts?

 

without spending a forturne i would just get some kybs

 

From http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/ is the cheapest I have seen.

 

My dad and I just checked it out. Something is wrong with the coil on the right tire side. My guess is that when I hit the pot hole a bolt or something snapped.

 

56.00 for kyb's????..that aint bad....i know that im sure as hell not planning on buying any konis any time soon

 

I know..considering that the ones from Autozone cost $55 each!
