2007 dodge caliber suspension arm bushing clunking noise how do you replace it?

A "click" or "thump" noise can be caused by several factors, including: suspension: Loose or worn suspension components, such as control arm bushings, control arm connections, and struts, can cause rattling noises when climbing over bumps. Drivetrain: Worn or damaged drive shafts, constant velocity joints, or differential components can also cause rattling noise. break: Worn or loose brake parts such as calipers and rotors can cause a rattling noise when applying and releasing the brakes. engine: If the engine rattles, there may be a problem with the engine mounts or the timing belt. These are just some of the possible causes of knocking noise and an accurate diagnosis can only be made by a specialist after an inspection.

The clunking noise you're hearing from the rear of your 2006 Mazda 6 after installing new shocks could be caused by a few different issues. Here are a few possibilities:

1. Loose or worn suspension components: If any of the suspension components are loose or worn, they can make a clunking noise when the vehicle moves over bumps or uneven surfaces.
2. Misaligned or damaged control arm bushings: The control arm bushings can become misaligned or damaged, which can cause a clunking noise when the vehicle is driven.
3. Worn sway bar links: The sway bar links connect the sway bar to the suspension and if they are worn, they can cause a clunking noise when the vehicle is driven.
4. Improper installation of the new shocks: The clunking noise may be caused by improper installation of the new shocks, such as not tightening the bolts properly.

It's best to have a professional mechanic take a look and diagnose the issue. They will be able to identify the specific cause of the noise and make the necessary repairs.

Friend of mine just bought one of these with the same symptoms. The torsion arms for the front suspension have a rubber mount bushing. When they get worn out the arms bang like crazy. He replaced the bushings and all was ok . Take a look at the bushings for the torsion arms

Might be a- arm bushings.

My car got hit yesterday in the back on the rear right side of my 2008 Dodge Caliber is it worth fixing

Have the shocks been replaced? Have the control arm suspension bushings be checked for wear?

The LX platform consists of the 300, charger and magnum.

They will all have front end noise. It's just a matter of time. This appears to be a poor design and should be recalled.

The front end should be replaced with energy suspension bushings and greasable ball joints.

The front end needs to be inspected, but here are the usual suspects. Most to least

1. Stabilizer bushings to frame. Rattle and bump sound. Not too expensive.
2. Tension struts - radius arm as some may say. Makes a poping noise and moans when driving and turning.
3. Stabilizer end links if loose to touch. Noise over bumps only.
4. Tie rods. Primarily outer. If you can turn them by hand they need changing. These make noise when braking and turning. Inner is more pronounced when steering. May cause road wander.
5. Upper and lower control arm bushings. Creak!
6. Ball Joints. These sound like an orchestra when going up a driveway. The most expensive fix on these cars. Up to 1800.00 dealer cost. They do not press out the old joints. They use a new knuckle.
7. Steering rack... another expensive fix. Moans and hisses.

Try having the linkage greased on your next oil change hope this helped

Hi the most common fault on escort suspension is worn track control arm bushes followed by anti roll bar bushes i think you call them stabiliser bushes i would agree with your ford tech guy re the strut bushes let me know if it solves it

This is most likely one or both of these:

The intermediate steering shaft loses lubrication and develops a clunk - this is an engineering deficiency in many GM products dating back to the early 90s.

and/or

The electrically assisted steering column actually has plastic gears in it which wear down quickly, get sloppy and cause clunking through the steering wheel.

If your car is out of warranty, this will be expensive.

GM knows about both of these issues, and continues to engineer these problems into their products.
