Anyone here remember about owners complaining of clunking from the rear struts? Its coming from the upper mount, like the mount rattles when you turn and put a load on one side. I can feel the mount boggling around in there and both sides do it.

If I remember correctly, someone had a fix for it. We have one here in the shop and it's pretty bad. We already did the struts & mounts to no avail.


Thanks in advance,
Paul

Andy,

That looks about right... I did it when I put the S3 coilovers in... I used a 3M windshield adhesive if I recall... just a nice layer around the opening on one of the plates...

if you need pic's RIPS, let me know... I think I have some of what I did.

 

Thats what I was looking for! Thanks guys, your awesome. Remember I work for a Dodge dealer, if I can ever return a favor, just let me know and I'll do my best.

I miss my SRT

 

I need a favor!!!!

Another thing to check is the slides/boots on the calipers, Im having a HUGE problem with that on mine, replaced them and its still rattling.

 

I know it from the strut mounts because I was in the trunk while an assistant was driving and got my "pinky" finger stuck in there while the damn thing was rattling around! LOL No blood thankfully, but I was sure It was "Gonna leave a mark"

 

Why can't we link to the other forum when theres stickys in this forum with a million links to it already lol

 

We aren't supposed to, Ill have to take that up with Amanda....but it states in the Mod forum we aren't supposed to. I dont know the reason behind it. I posted those links beforehand.

 

Can you send me those pic's. I'm not sure where the noise is coming from.
I don't have anyone to ride in my trunk for me.

 

71RR... this is from the S3 coilover install I did earlier this year. Suspension will have to be "dropped" or taken out to add the "goo". I never had any trouble while stock, and I added this during the install since I had heard complaints... and yanking out suspension isn't something I enjoy ;-) ha-ha... if you have any Q's or need other pic's I can try and help. Enjoy:
