I am going to replace both rear absorbers on my Bis. The rear suspension is a bit bouncy, or getting bouncier. It is weird that it does not get checked in the MoT. To cure this, I bought a complete set (includes bushings at the bottom and rubber bits on top) from Ricambio. Just looking at the repair history, the shocks haven't been replaced.
Whilst I am thrusting the rear frame downwards to check the shocks, as stated above, there is a rattling sound. To be exact, when I continually bounce the rear suspension, for every bounce, there is one chime sound coming from the rear passenger side suspension. Perhaps the shock absorber bushing is defective. When driving the car on medium road undulations, the rear suspension passenger side is slightly noisy, though quite tolerable. The noise disappears when there is a passenger in the car.
What can be causing the ring/bell sound? I need to get the car onto a ramp to check.
