Every time i hit a bump or my car changes pitch or sways i hear a clicking coming from the back left of the car almost like something popping in and out.. with the car elevated if i push down on the rims i can hear squeeking coming from what i think is the shock.. Did i break a valve in the shock or something? and this sound happens like every 5 seconds, seriously every bump in the road.. I want to lower the car im thinking about a prokit and qa1s but i cant afford it all at once and im wondering, if its the shock, if its ok to replace with those cheap kyb shocks until i lower the car...

The sway bar bushings can sound like that. You could try unbolting one side, or spraying some white lithium on the bushings, to see if it changes/goes away.

If the endlink made that noise it would be noticable cause it would either be broken or really loose. Your shock could be messed up or maybe one of you bushings in a lca or panhard bar is shot. That will usually make a klunking noise.

ok well the sway bar bushings are really cheap so i ill just replace those anyway... i do have spohn lcas and non-adj panhard bar which came on the car when i bought it.. i guess they are both relatively cheap to replace anyway but i didnt think about the sway bar bushings being the problem, hopefully thats it.. I dont know where i can get bushings for the others..

how easy is it to put shocks on because i can get kyb non adj from advance through a friends discount for like 20 bucks each and i dont really care about quality because im getting qa1s this summer.....

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE BUSHINGS FOR THE STOCK LCAS AND PHB WILL WORK IN AFTERMARKET SPOHNS OR IF I HAVE TO GET THEM THROUGH SPOHN?

Shocks are easy to put on to get to the top bolts you have to pull up the carpet tho. As far as the bushings dont think the stockers will fit I doubt its them if you have spohns unless they are loose or somethin. I say its your shocks.

My Camaros have little "doors" or flaps in the carpet to access the bolts, behind the rear seat back . . .

Well my thirdgen did not and if there is a flap is that big enough to move the foam on top of the bolt also?

Funny, my 3rd gen did. You have to finish cutting the perferations in the carpet.... and they are there from GM.

Cool Ill look into that mine had a big foam piece on top of the bolt tho so it would have to be a pretty big hole.

The foam peice comes right out of the little "door" . . . did on mine.
