Hi I'm Patrick and I have a 1994 Plymouth Acclaim and that annoying clunking sound is coming from the rear wheels there's a bar that runs down the middle of the rail that holds the wheels together and when you go over a bump that bar smacks the canal it sits in and makes that sound so I just got my welder out and welded it to the canal to keep it from smacking.
You need struts
When your rear trailing arm (rear control arm) are bad you will hear a clunking noise when going over bumps and potholes .... This noise is louder and more noticible while you have passengers in the rear seats..... You will also hear your tires squeek a little on turns
If you operate a front wheel drive vehicle, the clunking noise you hear may be a CV joint bearing going bad.
Little rubber parts that help to cushion a car's suspension system, if they wear out you can hear a knocking noise when going over bumps.
Chain alignment is off between the freewheel and front chainring. Also check chain tension when installing the back wheel.
either ur brakes ar gone or going so just check ur pads or ur cv joints are stuffed. u will show if u heaps a ticking type noise when u go around a corner on the side that u hear the noise from
A clunking noise when shifting gears on a K1500 automatic transmission, might mean a problem with the drive axle or drive shaft. Check all U-Joints to make sure they are working properly.
I have a 1990 Chevy Lumina and when you hear clunking sounds when going over bumps or dips or if you have ever replaced your strut assembly you should replace the mounts. You can buy a quickstrut online for a lumina. Front is around $180 and rear is around $80. Hope that helps!
it could be that your exhaust pipe is lose, i saw a Forester (a litttle newer than that) with the same problem.
could be the sway bar bushings going bad or if they didn't replace the strut bushings when they replaced the struts it could be them. Try checking the rear subframe bolts. I just had to replace one on my 96 after it had broken the powersteering rack. The driverside bolt was missing, i found it while replacing the rack.
Check your sway bar rubbers in the front, there are 4 of them and they will cause a bumping and banging noise around corners and over bumps.
"Did you hear that noise?" -or- "Did you not hear that noise I just heard?"
