[color=#000000ost_uid0]When the back right suspension "bounces" i hear a very disturbing noice it sounds like "cluck. cluck". What can it be?

Can ask one more question(don't think it's the right part of foum, but anyhow...):
On my front door windows i get scrathes from when I roll (do you say "roll") down the windows, and I was wondering if that is a common problem and how you could solve it?

Regards from sweden.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]dont know about your suspension problem...

but with the window, it may be just some dirt stuck on the black rubbers between the window. just give it a good clean and that should/mite fix the problem...[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Could it be the muffler from the exhaust moving around slightly??

[color=#000000ost_uid0]How about the whole exhaust moving around. I know mine does. Just wriggles a bit over short chattery bumps and the noise that I get is on the rear left not the right so that doesn't help a whole lot. Spare wheel? Rear window washer bottle? I'm just clutching at straws here. Maybe a nut fallen from the boot under the rear seat? Sex aid?
Also get a clunk from the towbar shackle jumping up and down over really small sharp bumps but I don't imagine you'd have that problem.
Maybe your suspension bushes are worn?

Hope this gives you some ideas. Except for the sex aid bit *[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#FF0000ost_uid0]hey Woxiz, both my current and the last 323f, and my sisters have the scratches on the front windows, especially up front near the mirror areas, think its the standard tints being worn off after years o service/scratching... im thinking about having mine polished and re-tinted, that should sort it i think...

as for the clunking, it sounds like your rear suspension struts are knackered, wont really affect the driveability of the car, but the noise is annoying and it'll fail the car if you have a 'National car test" / MOT program in Sweden... hope this helps..[/colorost_uid0]
