Problems with the rear suspension. - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey everyone, I need a little help. I recently replaced the rear struts (kyb GR2) and Stock Springs and Strut mounts, but my left rear still sags lower than the right rear and i get a clunking noise coming from the driver's side rear. Any ideas what the problem could be? I was talking to a buddy earlier he suggests the rear strut bushings? Any input?

yo,
what part of ohio are you from ?

I'm in parma.

the clunk could be from your sway bar and endlink. disconnect it and see if sags.

I live in Stow, pretty much like 8 minutes from Akron.

it might be your springs have seated themselves. and the strut rod is bouncing in the cap, the clunk is from when it comes back down and the nut hits. sagging could be your old springs.

Wut's weird is the struts and the springs are brand new. So it can't be the struts or springs. That I can rule out. The strut mounts are also new.

i have the EXACT same problem, 3/4 of my struts are goofy and make funny sounds

just2asian · 10-31-2005, 09:00 PM

I'm jsut wondering if I should be worried or not.

let someone else drive it for a bit with you watching. if it doesnt bounce dangerously youre fine

Monroe had a new part for the Toyotas. Monroe struts, springs, bellows, seats, and mounts all completely already assembled. Just pull out the old one and replace with this complete kit. Saves you time and money. Now if KYB would do this...

you have got to be kidding me

anything for the GEN2s?? or any other "kit" that would "also" fit the gen2??? my front end has been busted for a while now, its highly annoying.

hmmm my stock ones clunk like nobody's business. I was hoping replaceing with some aftermarket stuff would fix this...but maybe not...
