Weird noise from the rear
 
I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on this. A month or two ago I got my tires rotated on my MS3 GT and ever since then everytime I go over a bump, it seems like my rear right tire hits it really hard. It feels like there are no shocks at the back. Is there anything I should check for in the rear? Am I imagining this?

Check your tire pressures. If they are too high it can do that. Or do you mean that it sounds like the tire is hitting the body? Are you running aftermarket wheels/tires, lowering springs?

So, I took it to the dealer and apparently the sway bar links and bushings needed to be replaced and while they were taking care of that, they found out that the rear shocks were leaking as well. Everything was replaced under warranty. I'm getting my car back this evening, hopefully it should be almost as good as new!

Mine is making a knock noise in the rear as well... Going into dealer soon to check.

I read posts elsewhere where people with Speed3s had the same concerns and all of them needed to have the sway bars, links, and bushings checked and either re-torqued or replaced.

So definitely get this checked out soon as this could be a very serious problem.
