  • Grinding and bumping sounds

    OK, heres the whole story. I was leaving school one day. the exit goes from a downgrade slope to the street which is up grade going to teh left. i peeled out while turning left and felt the right side give a little. After further inspection the right rear was sitting lower thean teh rest of the car. Also when given gas to 3k rpm or higher under 20 miles an hour it would feel like the right rear tire was slipping, and it was also peeling out easily but was real bumpy and shaky and you could hear knocking sounds when slowing down or speeding up from a coast. Also when going over bumps it would sound like something was just bouncing around and knocking **** everywhere, but upon inspection, i cannot find anything loose, broke, or anything. So heres wat i did so far.

    Ok, at first i thought my shock was bad b/c thats wat it felt like, so i replaced them, only to see that it fixed nothing, then i replaced my LCA's upon advice of someone on the board, and yet, still, i have the same problem. The ride height is back to normal all teh sides are leveled out, but i still get the grinding and choppiness in 1st.

    Also i just recently got my rear differential fluid changed and now my rear axle looks wet, but doesn't drip or anything.

    P.s. i have a 2 piece ds

        Check your torque arm, Make sure it's seecure and the bolts are tight,

        I had a similar problem I thought it was my rear brakes making noise but turned out the the arm was a little loose and would allow movement when I gave it gas or when I slowed down. It made a lot of noise when I slowed down and hit bumps at the same time.
