Re: Clunking Evo?

Is it clunking or rattling? Rattling would be the exhaust touching something, not clunking.

Check your axles boots, and listen for it coming from a specific corner.

Does it have coilovers?

Check the driveshaft for play, up and down, side to side, and twisting it by hand with the car completely in the air (all 4 wheels off the ground with e-brake off), and check the rubber boot that is where the middle and rear sections meet.

It does not sound like a rattle. It sounds like a deep, bumping sound and it seems like whatever it is, it is not hollow.

I'll check my axle's. It sounds like the front drivers side.

It does not have coilovers... It has lowering springs

Sounds good. I'll look at that too.


I did some more driving and I noticed when I turn the wheel back and fourth when the car is still (in park) it seems to make the same noise or close to the same... I am not sure if that helps.
