Noise in the rear, sounds like a...............
I have been hearing a noise in the rear it sounds like a spring noise when going over a bump, a slight "boing" noise. I have heard it coming from both sides. I know earlier cars have rear lid torsion bars but the later cars like mine have the gas filled lift struts. I don't think it is rear strut coil spring noise but I could be wrong. Any Ideas??????

strut mounts gone bad will thump over large bumps
does it happen when cornering or just when you drive over something large like rail road tracks or a speed bump? What year and are you talking FWD or Quattro set up?

Re: strut mounts gone bad will thump over large bumps
The noise can happen almost anytime. Sometimes by turning a slight corner. It does not need a big bump to make this noise. The car is a 1987 4000CSQ.

hmmm tough to say without hearing or looking
If the noise is in the rear and changes with power on off then it could be the differential bushings or even the exhaust pipe.
