Rear suspension noise
1995 Transport, been making thumping, banging noise for about 3 or 4 years, at low speed going over bumps or around corners.
lately been getting louder, along with louder exhaust noise. taking it into muffler shop indicates it needs some replacement of hangers and some pipe work, which will be done in about 10 days.
While examining then rear suspension, the rear track bar exhibited no play side to side, yet the bar could rotate fore and aft quite a bit.
Question for those more experienced on these systems, is this this way they were designed, to be able to rotate to accommodate movement on the bar or basically are bushings in this bar have worn out?
Not finding any play in the rear axle arm bushing, shocks have no play
Thanks
Jeff
