zeiss150 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 So I noticed that my 72 240 is riding a little low on the rear left side and it has started making a "crack" noise when I accelerate. I know that its not my differential mount because i replaced that a few years ago, also, the "crack" sound is coming from the rear left side so its not the differential... right? I took the rear left tire off today to take a look and it seems that the tire has been wearing on the outside edge so I'm guessing that the shock is not holding the wheel to the road. But where is the "crack" sound coming from. I have no idea how old the shocks are that are on my z. I have no info from the previous owner. If I push on the back end of the car it does go down and then pops right back up but if you look at the car from a distance the left side does sit a little lower. What do you guys think?

AK-Z Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 don't know what the caking is, but I think its the coil, the strut is more for rebound than ride height. The cracking could be your sway bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Check the inner and outer lower control arm bushings, front diff crossmember mounting, and rear control arm mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
