Check the lower mounting bolt on rear shocks. Mine loosened once creating a clunking sound over bumps. Took me a while to isolate the cause of noise since visually they appeared to be tight.

Also check your endlinks. I've hand a handful go bad on all my cars and I can never make them clunk unless I'm driving the car

Check this out. I am in Baja, Mexico. 2009 Yaris hatchback. I am reading this thread and I have already had 3 different indy mechanics inspect and none found any bushings, end links, tie rod end (whatever they are called) to be worn out.
It does not snow here. I have already replaced the upper strut mounts and recently the sway bar bushings as some mechanics suspected that may be the problem but unfortunately it was not. So I am going to replace the LCA bolt next. Ill report back. |

I had to replace my front swaybar end links for this very same reason. cheap fix and not too much of a pain to do, but man did it drive me nuts till I got it done.

FIXED MY PROBLEM
Quote:
I went to a car mechanic and the he drove the car while i was instructing him on when i normally hear and to further explain him about the unusual clunking sound. He then checked the LCA bolts and bushing of the control arms and others... He sprayed lubricant (i think lithium based spray) to the bushing area where the bolts are located... We tested it after application of the lubricant but the minor clunking sound is persistently still there. He told me to purchase the bushings and he will install it afterwards since he suspect they are worn out and common for yaris.. Blessing in disguise, i went to the shops looking for the bushing and they were all closed for prayer time in KSA... I immediately went home and after lunch decided to have a car wash including the under chassis before going back to the mehanic. Ive instructed the guy to wash out the undercarriage properly then i saw some " sandy-materials sticking at the white lithium based grease" which was sprayed to the bushings... I specifically informed the car washing-guy to remove all the grease as i believe the bushing doesnt need to be greased.. Doing so, he removed all the sandy materials together with the sprayed lithium grease. Alas,after the car wash when i drive my car, it was completely very silent and no more clunking sound... In a desert area " sandy, dusty, dry weather" this led me to conclude that it was definitely the dust/sand and good thing i did not have to spend extra bucks replacing the good original bushings in my yaris... The high pressure water washer definitely did the job... :) Thank you. Last edited by rayfloyd170; 12-30-2018 at 04:14 AM. |

Hard to see how sandy grease could make a clunking sound.
Or how grease/oil would stop a clunk except maybe grease would for a short time. Maybe the power wash forced sandy grease into the worn joint? Last edited by dogsridewith; 01-05-2019 at 10:24 AM. |

Yes, as of now after 1 week of removing that grease-sand from the ball-joint and bushings with high pressure water wash, my car is still very silent... I was hoping it will stay like this since my car is new at about 70K KM and i really took care of it... |

i couldnt fully tell if it is clunking sound, it is generally unpleasant to hear especially when running really slow when you decelerate below 20K/hr and when you run on humps.. BTW i hear that sound on the driver side only. it could be a little clunking sound or creaking sound, i dunno, i just dont like the sound of it.. it is not a loud sound either, you cannot hear it when you run past 20Km/hr but when you hear it you can feel you are driving an old car... sounds like metal to metal rubbing each other or a suspension something that is creating the sound. You cannot replicate the sound while car is idle but only when running. note: joints are all good when checked... looks very new... Glad that unpleasant sound is gone now.. |

Corrosion Block green mystery spray from Florida snake oil?
A creak is not a clunk.
I got rid of what I think was at least one rubber bushing creak with the first of now 2/year (@ summer-winter wheel changes.) squirt-arounds w/ green Corrosion Block--targets are seams, fasteners and suspension rubbers and bushings. (Considering this experimental...not a recommendation.) |

I had a similar sound when driving on dirt roads or over bumps. It sounded like a creaking from the rear suspension. Luckily for me it was just the heat shield above the exhaust rattling around.

Had clunking in the front of my '08. Replaced the passenger side end link today. All tight and silent again. I normally do these in pairs, but the driver's side was still tight when check out off the car.
