I'm trying to track down the source of the annoying sounds coming from the rear end of the car. Here's what I have done so far. I have secured the spare tire so it does not move. I limited the amount of spare parts in the trunk and put foam underneath my toolkit.The rear springs have been replaced and all mountings seem secure. The rubber stops on the axles are in place. I can rock the back of the car up and down and it rebounds as it should with some slight squeaking only. That leads me to believe that the shocks are functioning and do not seem loose.
How is the body actually fastened to the frame at the rear of the car? Is it possible that the body is lifting off the frame when I hit a pothole or bump? I know that some have compared the ride of a TR3 to that of a buckboard but I still think something is not right. Any thoughts?
