Posted August 22, 20213 yr comment_627377 While driving my 280zx from a dead stop , I heard a thump,thump (on off) sound from the driver's rear tire area. It sounds like some parts are moving around due to the motion. On the road at speed there is no problem. From a stop sign or at low speeds the sounds happens. Bad shocks?

August 23, 20213 yr comment_627404 It could be. Or it could be a bad bushing. Or a bad shock bushing. Lift, grab, wiggle, listen, look. The cars are old and the rubber degrades. You'll probably find something. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65747-rear-wheel-noise/#findComment-627404 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something stuck inbetween the brakes? Otherwise make a vid with the sound..

Tire store said the bushings on the left strut are worn out. Where to buy the rear strut assemblies for the 79 280zx. He could only find the strut inserts, no assembly Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65747-rear-wheel-noise/#findComment-627444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
