Clunk in rear? Need troubleshooting help.

Could be the springs are not seated correctly.

there is info sticked on how to fill the rear strut mounts, but i dont think thats what you're after

go back to whoever insatlled it and fuck them. unless you installed it in which case....idunno cuz i've never gotten any clunk

Resolved?

This is what I was told-- there are plastic tabs that secure the trunk liner (?), that protrude on the underside of the car.

Tech said that the rear anti-sway bar was contacting the trunk liner tabs.

By flattening these tabs, the anti-sway bar no longer hits against these tabs.

I assume a big bump will still result in contact.

So I will see how this works out.

If he is talking about the tabs that are underneath the spare tire well, then I doubt it.

That area wont move up or down if the suspension moves. It is held static by the mounts and will only rotate with the suspension travel.

I had a very bad rattle in the back of the car and both of the passenger side lateral links and hardware had to be replaced. First time the tech had ever seen that.

It's back in again today for another rattle that came up.

My mods are Traction bars, Stock ACR wheels/struts/springs and Progress front and rear adjustable sway bars.

Ill let you know what they find.

Well, the noise is gone now.

The tech said that there is very little room to work with there, it's got basically a tiny bit of clearance.

I don't know, is it possible that it could be installed upside-down, or that L/R are reversed? (This is the Mopar adjustable anti-sway bar.)

I would think not, but maybe I should check. If it is possible to fit it in the wrong way, that might explain it contacting the tabs under the tire well.

Is there a way for me to tell just from looking at it from underneath? (Without raising the car.)
