    Clinking Sounds in the Rear

    I have hotchkis sway bars and ground control coilovers but for some reason there is like a clinking sound coming from the rear. I have no clue if it's the springs or the sway bars? The rear has no bushings because it is a solid axle in the back not wishbone or adjustable.

    check the torque on all those bolts/nuts... ive had that happen before and it was one of the rear supports for one of the axles.

    thanks for the advise! I took it to the shop where I get my car modified and all they did was torque down the bolts on the rear sway bar and the noise went away. I guess over time the thing tends to loosen and plus theres no bushings for it. So...... torque it down whenever it makes a noise and it goes away - problem solved!
