[DML] Re: Clunk (not TAB or axles)

["jangwin" <jeff@xxxx>]

My clunk turned out to be a weak rear spring. It had been cut to lower
the car, (yes, the rear) and my guess is that the heat of the cutting
tool weakened the springyness of the coil. When under load, the coil
had a definite bend in it, and the coils on one end of the spring
length were more tightly spaced than at the other end. The car clunked
when going over a sharp bump, or when turning sharply. It also listed
to one side by about 1/2 inch, when viewed from the rear.

I replaced both rear springs and shocks with PJ's, and my clunk went away.
