Rear shocks replacement?

How did you check it? Look at it? I think it's a sealed bearing. While driving, slowly sway the car left to right and back again. Does the noise become more prominent in either direction? When you put mor weight on a bad bearing they make more noise. Turning left puts more weight on the right side and vice versa.

have the u joints inspected as sometimes a noise is not coming from the area you might think it is.the noise could be a bad shock on that side or a rear spring bushing or spring problem.have it checked out,its a 95 so chances are you have not changed the shock and its worn out making noise.if it is change both shocks.

Check rear brakes and that also means the emergency brake shoes that are located under the rear brake disk . and also check the rear shocks

The noise you are describing does sound like a shock absorber,check and see if its just loose if its not loose then replace perferrabley both rear shocks but at least the passenger side.

Sounds like you should check brakes.

either your shock absorber or rear brake disk

worned out shocks will cause it to make the noise. front shocks tend to wear quicker than the rear due to the weight of the engine. have 2 front shocks inspected by any tires shop, should not cost you anything.

It could possibly be a shock or strut bracket.

Yes! if you have struts the shock mounts cound be shot,Also check to see your exhaust isn't missing any hangers,that makes noise too,when the pipe clunks against the frame.Good Luck !

Can you hear the pump kick in when you put weight in the back and the car is running? The way it works is there is a level sensor that mounts between the body of the car and the rear axle. When weight is added in the rear the compressor will add air until the vehicle is level. When weight is taken out of the car which could be the rear passengers getting out of the car the vehicle is now higher and the pump will release air to lower the shocks back to a level height. This is why youare hearing that sound. The pump will let air out of the system even when the engine is off to maintain a level ride. If you found this solution helpful please rate it.
