hey guys,

well i have a 2004 mitsu lancer ralliart, has about 60k miles, i just put all 4 struts, it has a cracking noise everytime u start shifting(on the rear), i replaced the rear sway bar links, but the noise still there. checked the strutand everythingseem to be on place.COULD IT BE THE BUSHING TO THE ARMS??????i haven't check them yet.....PLEASE ADVICE......thank you..

 

Was the noise there before you replaced the struts?

 

yes the noise was there, one the many reasons i replaced them.....

 

Check the sway bar bushings and the rear control arm bushings. Does it doing over bumps and is it a klunk noise or more of a squeak?

 

when i start going and press the clutch it klunkls when im in 5 gear going dont do it. it seems to do it when the car jerks a bit on gear change.. i looked at the sway bar bushing, they look ok, but im going to replace them..... but also will checked the bushings on the arms....

 

Do you have access to a drive on lift? (i know i'm asking a lot) It makes it easier to daignose a noise concern.
