How to Check REAR Suspension noise
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 05. 2017
- Those pesky squeaks form the REAR suspension of your car can be frustrating to say the least.
We investigate the source of squeaks on the Dodge Charger and find a pretty easy fix.
Ensure that you inspect all steering and suspension linkages for wear --specifically any cracked or missing portions and loose connections. If you run in to dry bushings that do not seem cracked --you can typically spray them with some Silla -Lube Spray and thay may do the trick in reducing or eliminating the squeak\s.
In the case of this Dodge Charger --the shocks & springs were recently replaced with an Eibach spring kit & we inspected a rear shock mount that had separated causing the shaft of the shock and or the rubber separating portion to squeak terribly. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Well done vid. I dont see many auto mechanic videos this well made. Thanks. I learned something. 👍
McM Arborist ~ thank you ~ based upon lots of constructive criticism in the comments ~ we will make vids better ~ thank you !
THIS IS THE FUCKING NOISE IM HEARING IN MINE. FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING SIMILAR JESUS CHRIST
This video is so helpful. Thank you for going over every possible issue rather than just the problem!
Trevor Baker ~ thanks for stopping by 🤜🏼🔧 join us here if ya can www.wrenchnation.tv/
I have exactly this sound in my 2010 Honda Fit. Thanks for the diagnosis and fix!
Well done guys this is exactly the sqeaky noise I have been tormented with! drives me nuts thank you.
Good, point-by-point instructional video of what to look and listen for, and what to do. Short and to the point. Thanks.
Very helpful!
Thanx so much - excellent explanations & demonstrations!!
God bless you & your business!!
keep making videos. You guys do a great job. I guarantee your subscribers will grow quickly.
Joseph Jankowski ...thank you brother. Far from perfect..but passionate about helping as many. Rock on.
Thank you, i have that same noise it was driving me nuts. At first i thought it was mt belts squealing. Then realized it was coming from behind my car.
Very easy video to view. Thanks for the excellent video!
Very good video. Think I just found where the ''clunks'' are coming from on my Tucson 2011.
Well put together and smooth presentation. Thanks for the instruction!
Thank you !
my new ford had such a similar squeak and what do you know it was the mount at the top of the rear strut, thanks dude
Hey, I have a g35 by any would the rwd rear top strut mount be same side as the awd top mount?
Very helpful video, thank you. I have a very very similar noise, but it seems that my top strut doesn't have those rubber shock mounts (BMW F20). Just one question: when to start rocking the rear of the car and hear the noise, that immediately tells us that's suspension related (and not brake related), am I correct?
Would this be the same for a 2011 Dodge Durango because I have where it makes a squeaky noise after they changed the shocks to new ones?
I have squeaking coming from my 93 gmc sierra. could this be the problem or what other things could be causing it?
I got a tapping/knocking sound in my Tucson 2022 when accelerating from 0 - 20 Km/h and driving at that speed range. Any idea? Thanks!!!
I will update but u may have just solved my 2 year headache if so that you for saving me money in parts
Hi I'm driving a Toyota tazz 1.3 2001 and I have more or less the same problem so I want to know if it could be my shocks as well because I'm only hearing a bad sound at the back of my cars wheel in the right side when I'm applying the brakes.
Saved The Day‼️ Thank You🙂👍🏾✅
very helpful thank you
well done
But I just replaced the shuts and mounts would the springs are to blame?
My monroe magnum shocks are making a similar noise but it isn’t as high pitch nor as often as this one, could it just be the shock mounts like this I hope?
Thank you mate...now I know what my squeak problem is on my Australian Ford BA 2004 but my shocked are only 6 months old should the squeak happen so soon Japanese shocks brand new plus do I need a nut on the end of the bolt that goes into the shock... Sydney Australia
99 sebring conv, my squeak is at rear somewhere, but AFTER new Monroes, and only after the rear left one, none after rear right one was installed as it was driven around a few mins after the 1st one which was the rear pass side, only after 2nd one on drivers side(used new strut rod bushings on both) and can NOT find with stethoscope at any bushings yet! While driving it will stop as soon as I give it any gas, but let off gas pedal and its ON, like Bangagone, squeak while coasting, braking, bouncing in d way, as long as you want to bounce it, and entire time while driving! (unless u let off gas pedal). Crazy!!
Marc carraway...crazy no doubt. Man. We hate to chase defective potential of new parts..but if that noise was introduced after new shock installed on that side...gotta be related.
Walk away. Clear head. Approach with a fresh start...recheck it brother...hang in there...wish I had more concrete answer...stay in touch..let us all know how it worked...~Frank.
I think this might be the same problem on my f34! Useful vid
Have you sorted? Having the same issue but it seems BMW struts don't have this visible rubber mounts...
The problem on my BMW F20 is now sorted (similar noise as in the video). In my case, both rear shocks had to be replaced.
I just bought my suspension a couple weeks ago so I know it's not that what I was going to be?
mine is rattling when you push it down. any Idea Boss?
I got my rear shocks replaced and the ones before didn’t even MAKE NOISE but these new ones just squeak during rain and over bunch
Good video. I can't agree with the comment at the top about thousand dollar charges.
I have the same sound when I’m driving then it goes away then it comes bak even when I do and whose turn to the right it hear it then when I’m driving straight it goes away ?
My car sounds like this but actually has a suspension issue and bounces a lot all of a sudden, what would that be?
My 2009 s80 volvo sounds almost exactly like that. Not quite as loud
It used to come from real drivers side & now comes from both rear sides.
I only hear it when I go over bumps and it’s not that loud, 2019 Dodge Journey
On my Gmc Sierra, I heard it on the left side and now I believe i hear it on the right but not the left anymore. Brakes are getting low but I wanna do the little things first before I do more expensive things
Yaboy Chaz ~ step by step ~ tackle things in stages . Thanks for stopping by!
Yep. Thats my squeak.
Adam Greenhaus lmao same thing I said my dude
Holy shit same, never was able to figure it out
good afternoon, I can find the same sound in the back on the 2023 Sonata, it’s not a month to find the sound but there is no current plastic, so I can use a rubber pot
I have the same sounding noise, but I can only hear it once I get up to 50mph, below that speed I can't hear it. Do you think it would be the same sort of problem?
Jimbo Jones ~very possible . Check all the rubber bushings !
Hi good job my is 2008 Volvo XC70 and it makes the same drive crazy noise like bunch little birds singing in the rear , do think that the rear springs or rubber separators are to blame for the noise?
Bernie L ~ birds chirping ~ examine all things rubber/suspension
Do those rubber kit come with the shocks? My wifes old car is starting to make that noise in the back.. i know it is not the brake because i can replicate the noise at full stop by just pressing jumping on the rear bumper.
Also is it dangerous to drive lile that
Most shocks will come with the rubber mounting kit ~ when it comes to struts however ~ the strut mount is separate if purchased as a cartridge stand alone ~ good luck here !
this vid was very insightful. unfortunately, as you didn't add in the footage AFTER the repair was completed, it leaves me wondering if in fact that was the issue or otherwise. I have the same sound, but only when i accelerate from a stop on the rear right side - some days all the way up to 20mph, and some times only after initial acceleration.
Took my car for service last week- got it back - same issue.
mikewinburn ~apologies if vid wasn’t clear ~ in the case of that particular Dodge that did take care of the noise . With your case~ I would recommend your garage attach listening device ~ we use them periodically in the garage to source difficult noise issues. They are wireless & will attach to areas that are suspect of noise ~ Call me at the garage ~ as I am more than happy to help out here ~
How can we solve this issue or improve this in design area of shock absorber bushing . Changing the profile of the bushing can help us?
Well - hard to say outside of factory setup - certainly worth experimenting- but installing factory components should solve your concerns - good luck - hope all works out !
Appreciate you guys hanging here ~ hope it all helps ~ remember ~ to join us over at our weekly car talk show ~ we have some incredible automotive guests from all over the country ~ www.wrenchnation.tv/
My squeak is when I rock my car back and forth coming from the rear. Could it still be the mounts?
dejuan union tanks for the video
My 2009 Lincoln MKZ makes a REAR clunking noise even over a small bump at low speed. It sounds like a hollow beer keg was in the trunk; I checked. I bounced on the rear of the car and the shocks seems great and no clunking. Shoved the rear side to side and no clunking. I then opened the trunk, stood inside and jumped up and down like an ape; no clanking noise. Traveling straight at high speeds, normal speeds or making an abrupt stop or "darting out of the gate" there is still no noise; however, when traveling, say, on a long strip of road in a continuous turning direction you can hear slight clanking. The biggest/loudest noise is when the REAR END pulls up over a small bump/driveway -> its like a two large hollow metal bars are bumping and or sliding by on another. The sound is more pronounced when moving forward compared to backing up over the "bump". ANYWAY, I am fairly low IQ guy with respect to car mechanics so, in the rear, I have shock absorbers, struts, sway bar linkage, and bushings??? Is this correct? Anything else that could be contributing to this issue?
You laid out some great details here ...may be hard to pinpoint here without actually looking at it ~ but do recommend checking all the links ~ additionally remember that those struts typically have a shelf life of approx 80k ~ they slowly lose their ability to maintain stability and can start making noise ~ don’t stress or guess ~ take it to local shop you trust and have them do an evaluation ~ may be an inexpensive replacement of links ~ hope this helps and sorry this may not really give a solid exact solution ~ good luck !
@@DesertcarcareI will bring my car down for inspection at lunch time. Again, I take it up to high speeds, make abrupt turns, long continuous turns, and brake / accelerate quickly and its rear handling appears to have no issues. I use to be in good condition until the gyms were mandated rules/ shut downs by the Communist so my belly can't fit too well under the car; however, I was able to note no leaking around the shocks/ball joints, the bushings appeared to be firm (no rubber degradation, and I could not move/wiggle the stabilizer bar to make the noise but, then again, I could not fit properly under the car so I had a poor grip. I just wanted to make sure I did my research so I could educate myself before confronting "the experts". Thanks again for you PROMPT reply. Much appreciated. Have a good weekend,
I have PF 18 R52 SL ,experience and feel rough ride and continues vibration however wheels are okay checked for balancing and G-Force ?! Is it because the stiff suspension?! My car is brand new and this problem really annoying me everyday my previous car was GMC Acadia 2009 and it was much smoother ride 🙁 ? Any thoughts !
Did you get it to fix?
Hi I have similar type of noise....but noise does not come all the time, sometimes it comes and after complete stop it goes away....noise increases with speed and comes down with speed
My mechanic even docent able to diagnose it, what could be the reason, please help
Arpit Nagar ~ what kind of vehicle ? Additionally noises can be tough to advise on here ~ call me at the garage . Do my best ~ thanks
Desert Car Care thanks....I am having Hyundai Sonata 2009 v6 model.....
My dodge magnum makes that grinding scraping noise when i slowly accelerate from a stop. I've replaced the differential fluid and car runs better than before but grinding is still there. What worries me is that recently i can feel and hear it more under my car like ur dragging something. And all the stuff i hear about grinding noise under ur car could mean something serious. Any idea what it could possibly be so i can pin point the problem. Thanks✌️👍
Could be ya motor mounts get your car diagnosed
did you ever figure out the issue? im having what sounds like the exact same issues in a 2009 ford fusion.
Really enjoy all your videos. Did you stop making them? Thanks
Mark Anderson ~~for the past year or so have been focused on our show here www.wrenchnation.tv/ ~will be adding more vids soon ~always here if you need help. Thanks Mark !~Frank
I'll check the show out Frank. Thanks for your response
Mark Anderson ~appreciate you brother ~thank you.
wish i could find a good mechanic in my area that even wants to check in my car out. bad rattling come from the rear when going slow (approx., 30mpg or less). rattling almost goes completly away when up to speed. 3 shops have checked for basic movements. all they say is everything seems tight. it's like they don't want to even try. I'm stumped. But there's no way I'm going to the dealership and pay a bazillion dollars.
hey did you ever figure out your issue it sounds like i have the exact same issues.
@@agro2881 actually yes. I ultimately caved and brought the car to the dealership. Turns out it was the aftermarket brakes someone installed for me. They didn’t fit the calipers completely right. Dealership said it’s a common issue with Kia’s. They installed factory Kia pads and turned the rotors. No more rattle.
Same here dude i hate mechanics they are sleazy asf, Mechanics suck with customer service str8 up
I have the same noise but only when I accelerate from a complete stop and it only come from the right rear.
Bryan Pena ..Check all linkage and related rubber bushings as well as shock mounting points. Here for ya ~~Frank
Desert Car Care Thanks man I appreciate it. Ill check up on it in first thing in the morning. I just bought this car from a small dealer its an '07 Acura TL-S. It was 1.5k cheaper than others but so far its needed a new battery, brake pads, brake rotors and whatever suspension problem this is. Aside from all that it was a great purchase I dont expect to spend half of that 1.5k.
Hey Frank I have certification in ASE HVAC and Osha 10 hour construction industry course how does this help me get work i did this school recently graduated Thanks
Nosavez ...ring me at the garage.. do my best to help you. Rock on. ~~Frank
Desert Car Care OK i catch some sleep toinght
what if i have the same sound but with a 1997 nissan pathfinder
The key here is to take your time checking all linkages to the suspension ~ check all rubber components like bushings to ensure not cracked or separated ~ sometimes you can spray a little silicone lube on areas you suspect making minor squeaks and that may help ~ best of luck here ! Call us anytime and we can help over the phone 👉 bit.ly/DesertCarCareChandler
Just checked my squeak noise moved car up and down while sitting and making the noise. thanks
Glad it helped - thanks for stopping by !
Who installs new suspension struts with old shock mounts?
Michael Broski ~ excellent point !
Well can we get an after showing that fixed it
Indeed- we will provide future videos with a better setup of before & after and be clear on what fixed
👌
One more reason not to ride around on tires that thin (not that that's what happened in this case, but thin tires are harder on the suspension).
Hey my Toyota probox making the same noise at the rear
lovis lee ~ check those mount bushings & complete suspension ~ you’ll find it !
@@Desertcarcare ok thk j
The car was just complaining about wearing those rims
HHhahahahha
I got a noise in the rear right of my 2015 Grand Cherokee that sound a bit like yours : czcams.com/video/8OkS5W09i-M/video.html
Do you think it's related to the shock absorber too?
Good luck when searching for the noises inside the vehicle))))
KIevMan..lol. Indeed. Where is that stethoscope anyway!
Yea strut mounts are not cheap
Poor customer bet he got charged like a thousand dollars for that job. Thats why i hate shops. They always rip people off.
Customers fault for buying shitty Eibachs. Even if they did spend a grand the shop replaced the shocks, drove the car, and fixed the problem. It's a service, you pay for it, they make a profit. Welcome to owning a business.
L comment you don’t know what your talking about my slave cylinder went out I got the part went to a shop and installed it for me same day 100$ out the door
Wow very squeaky hate it lol mines sounding like tht slightly
Zoe Sixx ~ those dang squeaks.
He looks like Charlie sheen
what the heck
That’s not a squeak that’s a squeal.
take the shock out and go for a test drive
