i have a loud ****'ing clank from the rear of the passenger side over any moderate bump, and when i say clank i mean its LOUD. sounds like metal slamming metal, i looked around under but didnt see anytihng hitting, i kicked my exhaust to holy hell thinking that was it but it doesnt even touch. the sound is getting worse and worse... plus my car is starting to burn some serious oil (2001) so i know its time for the ring swap. i want to come specifically to you since i know that you know your stuff, what do you suggest i do?

 

Check your rear control arm bolts. I had an ongoing battle with mine, trying to keep it tight, for years until Ryan used an impact wrench to tighten it down. No problems since then.

 

good idea, ill check it when i get home tonight. ill use the impact gun on em too. but for some reason i doubt thats it, its more of a clatter sound, than a loud thump. its weird, and ive never heard another fbody do this

 

One of your rear springs may be off also or you could have some damage to the rear end. Just guessing.

 

i thought it was the rear end at first, if i kick the tire it makes the sound but very quietly... im thinking now its coming from in the rear end of the car...

 

Check the lca's and check the caliper bolts i have seen them come out on the new car's
it could be a spring like ben said they have been known to come out
for the oil if you want take as much as you can off the car so it wont throw flag at my work about the mods and i can start a consumption test

 

cool, i have all the stock parts except for filter. i will take em all off and clean out the wheel wells too lol. as for the clanking if you guys can take a look at that too i would lofe joo. since its all under warranty and all...

 

Hey Martin I still have a stock new paper filter if you need it just in case. I don't think they'll really worry about the filter though.

 

its cool man, thanks though, i still will have the cut out on of course, lol i cant take that off oh well. cutouts dont void warranty. i had that issue with them before.

 

thats cool i will do the clunk too, and i will be under the car
