Car info:

1991 Lumina Euro 3.1

Full new struts Monroe Sensatracs (monroe mounts)

 

Okay so about a month or so back i installed some new Shocks and struts (including mounts) all around the car. i used to have a clunking sound, and it was the rear left, that strut was also leaking so i replaced all of em.

 

now i still have a similar sound from the back, kind of like a click, or a clunk.

 

when i was under my car i noticed a lot of my bushings looked kinda ugly on the trailing arm and what not. the big bushings were perfect. smaller ones eh looked like old ppl... :P

 

what could be causing this sound? i hate hearing it, and untill i can get a new subwoofer and amp... *popped both* i have to listen to it somewhat... without the bass in the car i hear it, although i have a lot of highs and mids haha

Check the pads on the ends of the monoleaf. If they're worn, it'll cause a loud clicking sound. Buy a set of MOOG "Hockey Pucks" (K644 is the part # IIRC) to take the place of the stock rubber pads. The MOOG pads drop underneath where the leaf sits instead of slipping around the leaf like the stock pads do.
