somecrazyazn Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I drive a 2009 civic lx-s and i bought it like 2 months ago... <3 cash for clunkers =) traded my 95 isuzu rodeo for the down pay haha anyways, i've just noticed that when I drive on bumpy roads or bumps I hear a clicking noise from the back seat/trunk on the right side. It sounds kind of like a hard plastic tapping on metal sound and i have no idea what it is. There isnt anything in my trunk, but im suspecting that its like the plastic around the wires hitting something under the right side of the trunk's lining. so do you guys have any ideas what it is or have/had the same problem? It's not like the noise is really loud, I can faintly hear it over my music n such but its probably because im trying to find out where the sound is. It is irritating because it is a new car and i hate it when new cars make clicking sounds that i can't locate =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 check the tightness on the trunk. it may be loose. check the struts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedDemon Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 i bet its the back seats. thats what was wrong in my mustang and my hatch before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somecrazyazn Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 well it wasnt the back seats, i checked its like a rattling noise coming from around the back seat on the right side. sounds like its coming from behind the right seat/inside the trunk, but i checked the inside of the trunk and there was nothing there to make the rattling sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 is it crunching or a hard clunk? if its crunching it may be the shocks hard clunks mean strut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somecrazyazn Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 its like a tapping/rattling noise not hard clunks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 If it happens when going over bumps, then it's probably suspension related. Do you have a rear sway bar? Is that loose? Otherwise I'd say strut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somecrazyazn Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 i dont think its the suspension but i can check and here is where i believe i hear the rattling/tapping noise coming from, but ima drive it back to the dealership n have them check it out... and get a car wash while im at it cuz my car is in need of a wash haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 if its suspension related , its most likely a sway bar end link. or bushings , but most likely a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamEj6 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 highly doubt its the suspension considering its an 09. but just have the dealership check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somecrazyazn Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 yea im hearing the noise more frequently now... planning on taking it back to the dealer sometime this week/next week, hopefully sunday to have them take a look at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 should be under warranty.. make the dealership fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somecrazyazn Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 apparently the dealership said that it was my shocks making noise cuz they are new and that my car is too light =/ and they said it should go away after a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
