    Clunking sound from suspension

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I have lowered my car with H&R OE sport springs and I have the Eurocode USS front and rear sway bars with adjustable end links (I do have the little rubber boots to help protect the end links from dirt/salt). I have a very slight clunking sound coming from the underside of my car. I do live in the northeast so the car does get driven in the winter, however it was very mild and only drove it twice in crappy salty road conditions. It also sounds like some noise coming from the springs when I get out of the car. What is this sound and how can I stop it. It just makes the car sound not solid at all.

    Can you expand a bit on where the noise is coming from? When you say springs? Front or rear or both? Springs shouldn't make a clunking noise that I can think of. Only ping noises...
    When does the noise occur? Only when you get out? When you are driving?

    The clunking is from the rear. When I driving slow going over small bumps I can hear it and when I first accelerate and stop.

    I have a similar noise with my car which I believe is my rear sway bar but I don't have end links. I was hoping end links would correct this!

    Any chance it's the sway bar bushings? The grease may need refreshed after a southeast PA winter of use.
