dude, check 2 things

1) absorber mounting
2) there is a black rubber washer between the mounting and HWL shocks, make sure the rubber is intact


Hope it helps..

try remove the front bar see if the culprit comes from it..

or so co-incidence the middle nut in the mounting is loose. no harm try to tighten it again. If that middle nut loose, the rubber washer i mentioned will not sit intact. that might explained the source of (klok Klok Klok)

usually rear would not make any sounds, the suspension components are lesser than front. I know the older version of HWL bush is not so good ( the black colour bush) will make some noise but later HWL redesign it to a yellow colour nylon bush. If your friend's one is with the new design, very fairly it will be fine. :)

I think it has to do with improper installation of the bars. Either the mounting screw is loose or did not seat properly.

Can you pinpoint exactly where the sound is coming from? From your description it might even be engine knocking.

My car has that exact 'klok klok' noise too whenever go over rough road. I thought it was the calipers initially but noise still exists after changing calipers.

There are a few things to do to when trying to diagnose a misfire. All vehicles are different, but there are a few places to start.
1)If possible use an OBDII scanner on newer vehicles. The misfire counter function can help you determine which cylinder is behaving badly. Clearly this is not an option for all people and vehicles though.

Note)Even without engine scanners you can identify which cylinder is causing a dead misfire. Carefully disconnect one spark plug at a time. If the...
