noticing only when car at a tilt( up a hill,elevated road,etc) and going slow...sounds like a clankking in upper right passenger side by front wheel..any ideas?..suspension

 

A boxster i owned had a similiar song they took the dash off and found a strut that was behind the dash was in need of additional support and sound deadening

 

Took a ride with Red Devil today and it was not that bad and a little tough to clearly reproduce..but realized afterwards that when someone not sitting in passenger seat it gets worse.....and clanking is on front passenger side...???

 

I was having a problem with a loud sound coming from the right front area, especially when turing right onto a sloped driveway. Took my dealer 2 days to find the source: somethign like a diagonal body brace was loose and needed to be torqued.

 

dealer just called and told me suspension,struts, etc are all intact..but they still don't know what is causing the slight clanking...

 

Hi Doc:

There's a TSB that might help: # is 4075, dated 09.13.05, titled "Noises from around front spring struts while driving". Ask the dealer to pull it for you.

Good luck!

Thanks..what is a TSB?

 

TSB..Technical service bulletin?

 

If the vehicle is lowered I would look at the spring. H&R has a tough rubber sleeve that should be strategically placed in order to keep the spring from rubbing on itself. Even if it's not lowered and has stock springs look at the spring closely and check to see if there is any paint that has been rubbed off in between the coils. Good luck.

 

Yep. Dealer has it.
