Yes I know..... not another clunking sound thread and yes, another problem with my 3
I've checked out the other threads but they do not address my specific issue and I would like to get straight to the point and resolved asap.
Every bump I go over, small or big, there is a rear clunking sound on the right passenger side and could possibly be moving towards the left passenger rear. I determined the area by isolating the sounds using my windows and friends inside/outside the car. Long story short, closed every window except right rear and voila! Found the side it was on.
Brought it to Jimmy's 2 weeks ago and he couldn't see anything wrong with it. Recommended shocks to be replaced since they were close to being worn out so I bought new ones and got them installed today at JR Auto Concepts (Jimmy was busy today, wanted it fixed immediately and thought it would be resolved). Sadly, that same clunking sound is still there and WORSE than ever.
When I drive, slow or fast, you can hear something turning and clunking BUT everything disappears when I apply the brakes. It's like it dis-engages something. However, when I still hit a bump you hear the clunks.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?!! I refuse to go to the stealership. I am willing to go to a shop this weekend and pay because it's VERY irritating and embarrassing. When it's night time and quiet, all you hear is my car making sounds.... Did I mention its pretty loud?
