Rear suspension noise

[RandallNeighbour]

Be careful buying cheaper parts off eBay. There's a bunch of inferior parts being sold by sellers like DeutchParts out of Germany that are just crap.

Vertex Auto has some really good aftermarket control arms (all three actually) with poly bushings that will last a long time, and they discount them heavily if you send back your old ones so they can rebuild them and sell them to the next guy.

I concur that it's probably your trailing arm bushing going out, but it might be a drop link as well (they're cheap and easy to replace).

Thanks Guys. Your posts have been a great help. Just the information I was after.
Vertex parts seem to be the way to go Prices seem to be on the right side even allowing
return freight from Australia.
Thanks again for your help.

Hey - I have this same thing, sounds like marbles rolling around back there at really low speeds. Been told my rear control arm has 1/64th play....how serious is this as an issue to get fixed? The noise is annoying...but is it something that needs done today or tomorrow or okay to wait some time? I'm not doing the fix myself - and have heard the repair is extremely expensive for this??
