2006 equinox rear suspension

When driving over a bump, down our dirt road driveway or a railroad track my equinox makes a clunk sound. Its coming from the rear of the vehicle. Kind of sounds like its directly under the trunk. The car has 105,000 miles. Was thinking its the struts. Is that most likely it or something else?

Could also be the exhaust pipe making contact with something. It needs to be inspected carefully looking for contact marks.

Noise from rear end of 2018 Equinox when traveling down the road sounds like a thumping noise could wind cause this

Wind......yes, only if something is loose and swinging around. Check the stabilizers as they often cause a clunking sound and is more pronounced when going over bumps, even small ones.

I have a Kia grand carnival 2007 everytime we go over a bump, driveway or even a roundabout the front of the car makes a clunking sound.

have the front wheel bearings , top and bottom ball joints , steeering track rod joints ,suspension top/bottom mounts checked for wear , tightness etc , try pushing down on the front end a few times to make vehicle go up and down , does this make the same noise , if it does it would indicate the suspension is the issue , keep me posted if you wish

Intermittent passenger rear end clunking noise

Check for leaking rear shocks or a loose sway bar.

Intermittent rear passenger clunking sound

You likely have a broken or missing bushing...

You have to look for loose, polished or even MERELY
WORN supports (iron oxide presents as a light brown powder...

You will only be able to find your issue with the suspension in "NORMAL" operating position...

If you put the vehicle in the air... the weight of the elements will make EVERYTHING "seem" to be nice and tight...

Your "thud" is because something is VERY loose...

and if it DECIDES to drop off at speed... you

(and your WHOLE TACOMA) could be CART-
WHEEL TO A MESSY, UGLY & LIKELY very
tragic sudden stop...

If you cannot IMMEDIATELY spot the trouble...
get it on down to an ACCOMPLISHED suspension
shop...

ALWAYS remember those spring and links
are powerful enough to hold up an entire TACOMA

So expect a sudden release to have EXPLOSIVE FORCE.

(quite dangerous... especially to work on... (opinion)).

Metal clunking sound from rear suspension challenger r/t 2010

Sorry dude, it is hard enough trying to keep up with all of the clunks and bumps and squeaks and rattles that occur on vehicles with factory suspension parts. When modifications are made...it is anybody's guess.

All I can tell you is to diagnose the problem the way any auto technician would diagnose any other suspension noise...get it on a lift and perform a thorough inspection and/or have someone bounce the car up and down while you stick your head under it and see if you can tell where the noise is coming from.
