Help troubleshooting suspension noise

Rambling · 01-19-2020, 08:31 PM

Hello all,

I am looking for some help to troubleshoot noise coming from the suspension after installing new shock ups (OEM Sachs). As you can hear in the video there's a distinct clunking noise which wasn't there before the change.

Any idea what this could be?

Thanks.

Loose shock mount? Spring not seated correctly in the perch?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Finally had it checked at the garage, the screws on both sides in the engine bay under the plastic caps holding the shocks weren't tightened enough.
