Hey guys

Since some weeks I got this metallic sound from the rear of my car. At first it only appeared on the left, meanwhile on both sides.

It appears when I start moving the car, forward and reverse. Also when changing into 2nd and start accelerating.

It does NOT appear in every gear or always at the same "time". It sounds like 2 screwdrivers hit against each other.

Also you can not "make" that sound with "shaking" the car for example, so theres nothing haning around, nothing lose or not in place

and so on. A friend of mine is mechanic but we could only check without a lft but he couldnt find anything. Not the wheels, nor the suspension, not the exhaust, not the shieldings bla bla bla

I srsly got no clue what to do, and since a week, this guy has the same problem. Actually it´s not a real problem, at least so far. But everytime I stop and keep moving again, there´s that annoying sound and ofc that´s not how the car should be so I rly wanna fix that.

Sry for bad english, and sry for not being able to explain it better ^^

Here are two short vids, in which you can hear that sound. Sry for bad quality, cellphone sucks :) When you hear it, you´ll straight know what I am talking about.

Thanks a lot

I jacked the car up and tried to shake and turn the wheels in every possible direction. Should I hear it then too? Cause there was nothing. But I´ll have a look again.

if there play in the wheel when u tried? u might not hear it unless the wheel is under load being driven

Nah I´d say nothing. I turned and shook em in every possible way. Like said before, if you would hear it while checking, you´d also hear it while the whole is getting kinda rumbled by driving over a curb for example, I guess. But that doesn´t happen

Somebody meant while driving by might be something to do with the "struts" ( if I got the correct Translation ). I can´t see how this could be oO If, it would be more centre of the car, not obviously down and rear, correct?

A stainless exhaust can make a similar noise when tapped, on take off the exhaust will tend to move/vibrate more

also if there was some loose fragments of broken cat converter, they could be tapping inside the pipes.

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
