ES300 Suspension noise

[shackner]

Hello everyone. I'm glad to be a brand new member of your great forum. I have a 1992 ES300 and absolutely love the car but I'm wondering if anyone has the same problem I'm having. There is a thud or clunking noise in the rear suspension when I go over rough road conditions. I've had it checked over by a qualified mechanic and everything is good and tight in the suspension. It almost sounds like a strut is loose and banging but they too are O.K. Does anyone share this same grief. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

maybe somthin with your spare tire or the tools came loose and is bouncing around?

I have the same problem in my 1994 es300 and i have taken everything out of the trunk thinking it was the tire or the jack or extra tools but it wasnt. I had my car dropped off and they said nothing was wrong. So i think there is a problem with the strut.

Have your upper strut mounts replaced. This should definately solve your problem..

^ look under the car and make sure the sway bar bushings are still intact (and attached) and that the sway-bar's end links are also still attached. Lotta times it's one or the other.
