Rear Suspension Thud

[NZ_EK9]

Hi guys,

Over the past couple of months I've noticed when going over bumps the rear suspension makes a 'thud' noise. Also going over uneven roads (repaired patches) it bounces/creaks a little. I have tried 2 different sets of shocks and changed the sway bar endlinks, running OMNI LCAs and a beaks tie bar. Springs are Neuspeed Race ...

Has anyone else had these symptoms? What else could it be?

Thanks in advance
Adam

Have you tryied the anti roll bar links and the D bushes ? I had the same problem i changed them, then they were ok ?

Yah I thought the thud would be the swaybar, but I have changed the endlinks (BLOX) and also the bushes (Energy Suspension) :S

Took the sway bar off yesterday to see if it would eliminate the thud and noticed cracks in the RTA bushes, could this be the cause of the bounciness ?

there not bad enough to create noise.

when i lowerd my civic, i never put the bumpstops back in, and it used to rattle loads!
if u been doin ur suspension, then maybe u havnt put them back in?

Pretty sure bumpstops are in because I had to use them for both sets of shocks.

Thanks shooter. Will try factory LCA's in the weekend =[
