Getting a weird spring noise sometimes when I go over a bump, only at slow speed, usually when I turn left or right. Almost like the end of the spring is slipping then smacking into the seat again. Anyone have this problem? Started hearing it at around 100k km...

Everything's stock (so far )! As factory wears out, I upgrade - so far the shifter bushings and tires...

thanks!

sounds like ball joints

I would jack up each corner of the vehicle and see if you have a broken spring?!?!

what kind of noise is it? like is it a clunking sound or a knocking sound?

special_ed

Not a clunk nor a knock, more like a hollow 'boing', compete with a little reverb!

sounds like a ball joint......does it sounds like something is rubbing?

special_ed

Nah, I don't hear any rubbing noises. It does sound like it coming from the rear though...

What do you guys mean by the ball joints - i.e. you think the taper is coming loose? I'm not getting any adverse steering feedback...

Thanks for the help guys! Keep it comin'!

your spring might not be sitting right on the shock tower, check that, sometimes a simple twist of it would do, although it would have to be raised.
