it may be just the springs loading and unloading in their lands |

springs catching on the springs seat, rotate the spring 10mm away from the recess on the spring seat. have a search there should be some pics floating around. |

no, it's a simple instillation error. |

My Vitara was doing that, took ages to find it. It was loose body mounts on the rear end. I was lookin at springs etc, too. |

on the 500km check up they would have just checked for loose bolts etc, it's quite common for jimny's to make this exact same noise. |

none of your jimnys would make this noise if you took ataris advice and fixed it. takes about 30 minutes and two or three beers

i gave up on fixing it and just got used to the noise, the springs do just move around in their seat. every time i go out my rear left will rotate up to a 1/4 turn back to being noisy. i find if i rotate it hard up in the seat its actually quieter longer. |

Also makes that noise when the trailing arm bolts are loose. |
