SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER, SUSPENSION:REAR
WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN MY CAR MAKS A FUNNY NOISE WHICH IS CALLED A RATCHETING SOUND WHEN YOU COME TO A HAULT. A FRIEND OF MINE HAD THE SAMETHING WRONG AND OTHER CHRYSLER LEBARON CARS I HAVE BEEN NEXT TO AT STOP LIGHTS HAVE MADE THE SAME NOISE. IT'S SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE REAR OF MY CAR MAKES A REAL FUNNY NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE SHOCKS HAVE GONE BAD. IN FACT, WE HAVE REPLACED THE REAR SHOCKS, AND IT STILL MAKES THE NOISE. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS UNTIL A FRIEND OF MINE WAS IN THE CAR AND HEARD THE NOISE AND SAID HER CAR DID THE SAMETHING, AND CAME TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE TORSION BAR IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. *AK
