I think I broke my 7G :(

[mrjaydeeone]

I hit a bump this am on ride home. And since then, when I hit bumps on right side it sounds like rear right of car is gonna fall off. Like strut broke, or came loose or something. Looked today and didn't seem like anything was loose or out of place. Tomorrow I am going to take out back seat and lift car.
Any ideas?

Pics?

Could be the bushing between the strut mount and the spring. Sounds a bit more harsh then that, could be a worn bushing out back, maybe a bad wheel bearing.

sucks man, what kind of sound is it?
goodluck!

[fatal1]

hmm is it just a sound or do you feel anything along with it? definately check out all the suspension components on that side

[mrjaydeeone]

no pics of anything yet. LOL. Looks fine from the outside.
hmm. Sounds like lumber being thrown around actually

it's the bushings in the rear. make sure they are still there and good.

Did you bottom it? You might have blown the shock completely, or snapped the spring

Didn't Angel relplace all the bushings with prothane. I remember the car creaking during the winter & he said he should have used a different grease.

Well, the weakest spot in the rear suspension is the upper nuckle bushing. Where the A-arm links with the nuckle.

[kolio]

bad bushings make the nuckle sound really bad. proto had that prob in the eclipse.

ah I see. This sounds pretty damn bad.

[kolio]

just get some new bushings. call angel, i'm sure he can help you figure it out.

[mrjaydeeone]

well problem solved. It's a busted strut mount. Gotta get that along with some other parts I been meaning to replace on the car and it's getting fixed next week
