Random thought,since mine us doing something similar and I think I found the culprit...
Checked you rear speakers? 99% sure that is where my "clink" is coming from. Worth a check. Sent from my payphone using carrier pigeons.

As dumb as this sounds, check your LCA for a stray pebble. I had one caught in mine that couldn't find it's own way out.

Yeah, guess some of them were a bit loose from the factory. Mine only make noise at super low speed, smallest bumps. Larger bumps or more speed, no change.
I jammed some cardboard between the speaker and the rear deck lid, from the bottom. Seemed to help, but the cardboard fell out after awhile. Need to find a better solution, with all that spare time I've got laying around. All my suspension parts check out a-ok. J Sent from my payphone using carrier pigeons.

I will put it in 1st and let it idle forward and while rolling forward, I take it out of first and put it in reverse. I give it a tiny bit of gas (just enough to keep it from stalling) and the car will slow, stop, and then go in reverse. When it does this, you hear the "re-positioning" of something metallic in the rear axle areas. While rolling back, you put it back in 1st and roll forward EASY on the gas. NEVER do I get on the brake. Just back and forth...back and forth...PLINK PLINK PLINK PLINK....You know what? I think I'm going to try to record it just so the others can see/hear. Quote:

sway bar tightened down? Will it still make that noise with one endlink disconnected? Is the plink, plink, plink steady as you move back and forth or just one time in each direction. If steady, does it get faster as the car get's faster? If that's the case I would agree with Robert that this sounds vaguely familiar to what PQ went through.

The plink comes only when stress is put on the rear end as in go or stop. And, it will plink once going forward, once going backward (each side). It's like something either settling or something twisting in the half shaft slipping and then hitting metal clanking. |
