#1 of 6 XG Rear Supension noise by mark149 Apr 16, 2008 (1:11 pm)
Hello all, I have a 2002 XG with a loud noise in the rear supension.I know where the noise is coming from but when I went to the dealer {parts dept}they were unable to tell me what I needed. It has to do with the shocks/strut.Anyone else have this problem before? Replies to this message: shaky4 (Apr 22, 2008 1:41 pm) sanibelsal (Sep 03, 2009 11:32 am)

The suspension is sophisticated and soft sprung (for that floaty ride) and 60-80K is what you'll get from it, lesser if you live in NYC.

Replying to: mark149 (Apr 16, 2008 1:11 pm) I have a similar problem. "Clunking" when driving over even the smallest bumps. Last time at oil change I mentioned it and was told it was my open house signs in the trunk (I'm a realtor) but this is clearly not the case. I have an appointment at the service center tomorrow am and will report back. I did take the deluxe warranty package so I'm praying this is covered (as I said I'm a realtor!)

Mine had the same noise. It's an easy fix,I did it myself with hand tools and an external spring compressor. My XG has 88 k on it so I bought new rear struts off E/Bay(KYB $200.00) But that's not the noise. The noise is the upper struts rubber mounts. ($30.00). You must remove the struts to replace the rubber mounts.Don't pay an arm and a leg at the dealer. Any good shop can do this with ease for far less then the dealer.Mark I hope is covered too.

Replying to: mark149 (Sep 03, 2009 12:13 pm) So, if we have the clunk noise, do we just need to replace the rubber mounts? Have you replaced the rear struts for another reason? Replies to this message: mark149 (Sep 28, 2009 2:20 am)

Replying to: waboose (Sep 27, 2009 8:51 pm) On my car the rear shocks (struts) were OK. I did replace them because you will have everything apart anyway. At the cost of $100 on Ebay for KYB gas shocks why not. If you have the noise the problem is the upper rubber mounts , not the shocks.
