so THREE concerns/rants/annoyances....

1. my driver side clunks. I dunno if the strut is blown or if the pillowmount needs to be adjust. I have so far, replaced the tie rod, checked the spring seats/collars

I dunno what else to do.

2. when i turn right on "on-ramps" and if the road is bumpy i get "clunk clunk clunk". Anyhow have any idea what that is> Its been like that for a year...haha.

3. My rear suspension is noisy as heck...especially on uneven roads and very slow speeds (10mph or slower)


HELP!

My set up is
BC N+
front and rear eibach sways
endlinks (front / rear)
cusco rear strut bar.

dude, check your perches and make sure they are tight. all tube designs with perches or ring clamps have this stupid problem of coming loose. if not, break the components down and re-grease to make sure it's not your N+.

check your spring perches and raise up the car to see what happens.

Check your spring to see if they are binding up when you turn.
Do you have a rear camber kit? the poly. bushings on some arms can get pretty noisy

yeah...i wonder if the springs are binding...i have to check.

As for the rear poly bushings, i had buddy club replace them like 3 months ago, but then again...poly bushings have a mind of their own.

the rear noise is prob your endlinks homie, my corsport V.1's make MADD clacking noises at low speeds on uneven/bumpy surfaces... try some white lithium grease maybe...
