Ba-boom From The Rear...


Recommended Posts

So, still loving my '94 ES. Runs beautifully.

I'm sure this is suspension/strut-related, but thought I would post so I have a better idea before I take it in for service. I always feel like there's a few of you on here who know more than a mechanic.

When the car is loaded down, i.e. more than two adults, and I go over a dip in the road there is a LOUD BOOM, like someone's taken a baseball bat to the car body from inside the trunk. Doesn't affect ride quality, steering, braking, or anything but boy is it noticeable.

What should I be looking for?

Most likely you need new rear struts.

Do all 4 corners, Check the mounts also. Bushings are also a concern. :cheers:
