The rattle could be caused by loose bolts or worn suspension parts. The rear suspension should be checked to insure that no parts are close to breaking.
The rubber bushing for the suspension spring has fallen off from age. The suspension spring now "slaps" itself, metal to metal, causing the noise.
Independent rear suspension.
No, the front suspension uses struts. They are like shocks except for that the spring actually sits on it, not separate like the rear suspension.
Check just in front of the muffler. The pipe that connects the muffler and the catalytic converter went on my 97 GTi, a portion of the exhaust system was sitting on a support causing a rattle sound when accelerating.
To remove the rear suspension arm on a 1996 Mazda Protege, start by safely lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the suspension components, then detach the bolts securing the rear suspension arm to the chassis and the knuckle. It's advisable to support the rear axle with a jack to prevent it from dropping. Once the bolts are removed, you can carefully pull the suspension arm out from its mounting points.
Rear rattle over bumps is often caused by worn or damaged components in the suspension system, such as bushings, shock absorbers, or struts. Loose or damaged exhaust components can also contribute to rattling sounds. Additionally, items in the trunk or cargo area may shift and create noise when hitting bumps. A thorough inspection of the suspension and secure storage of loose items can help identify and resolve the issue.
The different types of rear suspension systems used in mountain bikes are: hardtail, full suspension, and dual suspension. Hardtail bikes have suspension only in the front fork, while full suspension bikes have suspension in both the front fork and rear shock. Dual suspension bikes have suspension in both the front and rear, providing the most cushioning and control over rough terrain.
They are the rubber mountings located on a vehicles rear suspension on wich the suspension components pivot, giving softness and elasticity to the suspension movement.
When choosing a mountain bike with rear suspension, consider factors such as the type of terrain you will be riding on, the amount of travel in the rear suspension, the suspension design, the frame material, and your budget. These factors will impact the bike's performance and comfort on rough trails.
I don't believe so, I'm pretty sure a "Track Bar" aka "Panhard Rod" is meant to help stabilize the rear axle. 1995 Mazda 626 is an FF or front-engine front-wheel drive vehicle. there is no "rear axle" to speak of, because it is independent suspension. there IS a tie-rod type stabilizer in the rear however.
Dual suspension is a bicycle with both a suspension fork and a suspension rear. A rigid bike is a bike w/o any suspension, both fork and rear triangle are stiff.
If it's independent rear suspension, it's been knocked out of alignment. Yes, rear suspension can be knocked out of alignment.
