Wanted to revive this old thread and see how some of the posters cars are doing months later. I installed BMR minimum drop performance springs and Koni Active shocks a couple months back. Nothing else added. Had the bushings indexed and an alignment done, everything in spec. Car rode well and had no noise until a month ago. Installed my winter wheels and shortly after I started getting the EXACT noise that Must_Tang described in his original post. A small rattle from the rear right over multiple small high frequency bumps. A mechanic buddy and myself jacked up the car and put it on ramps to check a few things. I know sometimes the rear shock mounts can be a problem. Mine are stock. My left rear wheel bearing had also failed so I had that replaced under warranty at the dealer thinking that was the issue.
With a new wheel bearing in place, right side’s wheel bearing is good, I still get the rattle noise. I have to assume it’s the rear toe links, maybe the outer toe bearing as some have mentioned.
I have a 2015 performance pack GT. Would changing out to the FRPP toe link bearings potentially fix this? I know it’s a nasty install so I wanted to ask first.
This god damn IRS rear is elusive when rattles and stuff show up. These cars certainly aren’t that smooth to begin with over bumps in the rear. The Koni Actives have been decent with a lot less suspension travel and better rebound but rear ride comfort is about the same as stock, compliant but not comfortable (especially highway).
Thanks for any insights.
