Bnaging noise from driver's side rear wheel

[atticstud]

First thought it was the shocks so replaced them which was not a big deal since didn't know last time they were replaced since we bought the nb used. Still got the noise and now looking for suggestions on possible cause? Noise is really noticable at low speed on rough roads this was the reason for the first thought of shocks.

Well I suggest you have your wife run along next to the car about 30 mile's an hour should do it. Now if she can't run that fast, get her a pair of skate's, tie a rope around the driver's side mirror, give her the other end. You MUST accel slowly! I haven't seen to many wives that can take a sudden jerk. As you accel, you will want to really kick that turbo in, but don't try it unless the wife is ok with going over 30. Last time I tried to diagnose a car this way, my ex-wife was super pissed. Thats what she get's for telling me she hear's a noise.














































All kidding aside, did you also change the mount's? Could also just be something banging around in your trunk, take all the stuff out and see if the noise dissappear's...

I had to totally laugh out loud with that reply, loosenut. That made my day.
