Ok, so for the past few months I've noticed noises from my rear suspension. It makes a clunking sound like metal hitting metal which is sometimes very loud and annoying. The problem occurs when I go over speedbumps, potholes, bumpy roads, during braking at speeds 30MPH and over and backing up. I actually thought that my rear shocks were completely gone but I took them off and checked them. So my question is do I need this?

It seems that the description from Mitsu Graveyard cover most of the probs that I'm experiencing. Anybody else have these issues too and solved it somehow?
 
A good way to see if you need it or not is to take off the rear upper control arm and inspect the bushings. But yes, it probably could be the bushings.


Inspect your old bushings first though.

have you done any work to your suspension at all?

Eibach Prokits, KYB Struts and Ingalls F&R Camber kit. I've had this setup for over 2 years and this problem just started a few months ago.

Yeah, I know I have to but just being lazy. I'll check it out this weekend before I buy anything, don't want to waste any extra money.
