Bumpy, grindy, expensive-sounding noises from the rear susp?
Posted: 31 Jul 2004 02:39 pm
Greetings all:
Most of the time, my 360GLT is the quiet, docile, well-manered beast you would expect it to be. But on the rare occasions that I have any load in the back seat or boot area, any turn to the right results in a horrible grinding rubbing noise from the rear of the car, from the vicinity of the right rear wheel, I think. Now I'm not talking about washing machine-sized loads here; even my 4 year old daughter (who's tiny) will cause it to happen.
This happens at any speed, from walking pace upwards, and it doesn't have to be a right-hand corner - any slight deviation to the right will bring on the noise.
Once the back seat/boot is empty again the noise disappears.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
