vivalavolvo Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I already took care of the front suspension, but i would like to know what i should focus on for the back end. If i corner hard (braking and diving in hard) i get some clunks in the back end. I have new shock mounts i haven't put in yet, but is there anything else i should grab before i start working on them? Also when i do the mounts, can they be done from in the back of the wagon or do i need to get them from underneath? It's been a while since i had the floor taken out and had a look at them. Thanks!

Check your bolts... I had some clunking on mine after I did my springs, and it turned out I didnt tighten the 15mm all the way on the bottom of the assembly. Impact guns work wonders on getting bolts tighter. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT5M Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yessir. It should be about the same for sedan/wagon. I can get you a pic tonight if you want some clarification. but its the bolt on the bottom of the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT5M Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 wait what car is this for.... O.o im assuming your wagon lol. but yeah check it out, lemme know. just hit it with a wrench/socket and see if the top part spins... Mine did which is why I couldnt tighten it all the way. had to apply pressure to top and impact to bottom. the welds break pretty easily. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
