Axle question

[Matt Fredrikson]

So after a couple checks and a test drive I'm leaning towards a blow shock. Basically did donuts in forward and reverse slowly and at a bit of speed and got nothing. Crawled under the car and the passenger side is tight while the drivers side only had a tiny click when I tried to rotate them. Smooth moving in and out, and I purposly hut a railroad in 3rd an got a hollow cluck like hitting an empty milk jug. No feedback as if an axle was popping. Only time I hear it now is when I load up the suspension over a bump. Smooth driving on the highway, last week I cranked a pothole on the highway and I have a feeling that might be what did her in. Will have to do more testing when I get home but I it's a blow shock it's a great way to sneak a row m030 kit past the gf lol. Let me know what you guys think, oh also if I push and pull up and down on the bumperettes I can hear it clunking a bit too soooo.

When the forces of the universe conspire to give you a reason for coil overs you should take it!

Possibly lol! Might be rear control arms did some reading seems that could be it, took a hard corner and felt it clunk hard just a min ago feels like something going left right even more than up down. Well see gonna crawl under it in the next couple days and start cranking things.

If it is a blown shock it should bounce up & down several times before settling/& or leak oil. If you replaced the grease in CV joints you should know their condition & they only wear when low on grease.

Thanks! I will check the shocks but I have a sneaking suspicion it's drop links my dads olf firebird torn up a sway bar bushing and made a very similar sound plus when it makes this clunk the back end gets a but out of shape.

When the rear shocks are blown, you will head a weird shudder/thumping noise from the back end of the car when making a hard turn under heavy throttle when turning in the direction of the side of the car that the shock is blown on.

That's the sound of the tire bouncing around as it fights with traction.

BC.

Excellent that's exactly what I got I'm gonna crawl under it this week and have a closer look!
