Rear susp. issues?!
I have had one heck of a bad streak here with my rear suspension. We have 50K on this car..
First, the left rear spring was squeaky, so I removed it, cleaned it up and put it back in, squeak gone.
Second, one day later the right rear spring starts squeaking, removed, clean, squeak gone.
Third, two days later the left rear starts "clunking", ends up being the rear shock is bad, replaced, clunk gone.
Fourth, one week later the right rear starts "clunking", replace the shock clunk is gone.
Anyone else have this type of rear susp. issues?
Honestly, it has been one thing after another with this car..fix something, two days later something else breaks (its been more than the susp.)..good thing I am able to do all repairs myself!

Yes the car is completely stock.
I guess I have never owned a vehicle needing shocks replaced with only 50K.
Luckily it is a very easy job as I can change the rear shock in about 15 minutes max
