Rear right noise
 
I'm back to this problem again. I have a noise in the back right side that occurs when I am moving and I hit bumps in the road. Occurs when car is cold and then goes away once warm. It's not a loud bang, more a soft rattle (if this makes any sense). I tried pelican thinking I would give you guys a break. Not so much luck thus far.
Thanks,
David

I had the same problem. As long as everything is tight Ie: muffler etc I replaced the rear track arms and drop links. They are wear items. That solved the problem.

So the noise would go away when the car warmed up? Thanks for responding.

What's the drop link in the back? What other name is it called?

Gotch ya. I will re torque and see what happens.

Also, do those items expand as you drive? Wondering why the noise would go away when the car warms up. Never realized suspension units get warm.

Thanks,

David

also may be as simple as the head shield on the transmission shifter links - it is located on the rear right of the transmission where the shifter cables attach. it is held on by two small nuts and is designed to shield the shift mechanism from the exhaust. it gets loose and can rattle around.
