Hey, umm i having problem with me car, i drive a 240sx fastback and when i drive it, it makes this pop sorta noise coming from the back left when i go over a bump... i know it's not scratching cuz it's not making a scratching sound..... iono what it is... someone wanna help me out? could it be my shocks and springs???

StanBo

Your shocks might be blown.

When is the pop happening?

During or after the bump?

my friend has blown shocks..but it doesnt make a poping sound...Maybe ur spring is getting out of place

rudeboy

i say pull the wheels and look for shock oil..and see if your spring is seated right
mabey your sway bar endlink broke or sumthin
so time to get dirty and check it out

Sounds like a weak spring that cant take the weight and the impact of bumps.. u can get spacers if you want to prolong changing it... suspension can be costly

StanBo

Spacers?

schebs240

there kinda like door checks that make the spring more stiff. yet there's a chance they can pop out when ur ssprings already worn out, they can make your springs last alot longer and ur struts take less abuse, the suspension becomes less smooth..

They sell them at places like strauss and pep boys
they look like blocks with the top n bottom groved out to fit in the springs..

my springs are eibach sportline and kyb agx... their sorta new... put in about a month ago and it hasn't been driven hella hard yet... and the sound happens sorta after the bump.

When I had my maxima i bought 2 brand new springs from nissan and 2 new struts put it all in and one side was perfect and one side banged on hard bumps... It's all about how well the actual one you have in your car is built.

id do what rudeboy said, check it out and if its a factory problem i would go after a refund...

schebs240

Dude parts like springs are non refundable after there installed so if you can make them new go for it...

Drift_Ladie

thanks you guys for the help! i'mma go and look at my springs...

getinthacar

only if your the one that installed them...

most ligit performence shops would replace it if its defective....

You may check your bushings in the rear. Mine ar worn and I hear a similar sound when going over speed bumps. But if that is the case you should also hear it when you pump the brake or the throtle.
