Hey Everyone,
I have a question. My VX Equipe is making a clinking noise from the rear end. It was in a left passenger side accident that knocked in my shock absorber slightly at the top. I have replaced both rear shocks and found that both were completely dead. Anyway, my car no longer makes noise from them but i can still hear a clinking noise coming from the rear end. I did a bit of research and found that it could be a noisy diff causing this if it doesnt have the correct oil in it and has an open diff. I also thought it may be a CV joint starting to fail but im not sure . the rubber on the CV joints havent perished and the joints themselves seem to be ok so im not sure if this is the culprit. I was just wondering if a rear sway bar link could be causing this clinking noise considering I do know that front sway bar links make a similar sound when they are bad.
Any help would be great if anyone knows what could be up.
Thanks
