I'm thinking I need to give my rear end the once over now, having read this post. (No gay comments please I'm defo heterosexual... Nuff said)

On bumpy roads is it normal to hear quite a lot of rattle from the rear suspension on a Elise 111r ?

Hammered- yeah its usual for a lot of rattling and bumps etc compared to a normal car, but just jack each side up and give the back wheel a good wiggle and bang it too with the palm of your hand etc and see if you can feel or hear any play, then grab the toe link and see if you can twist it a little, (you may need mole grips) and see that it moves ok and isn't seized etc.

 

Yeah Andy - I know ha ha. I suppose I shouldn't have left starting clam removal until 2:30 .... it was blooming cold tho - I was hoping it would warm up. Anyway, like I said, a few seized bolts, but its all undone, but being awkward to come off, so I put it away, warmed up and went on the p!ss to Llandudno over the weekend.

 

Did you put new shinny oem toelinks on yours?

Have you put some foam on those seats too? (Look good btw)

 

Just need a suitably dry and warm few weeks of weather so you can take it out. What are you going to do if it starts to rain when you are out in it? ;o)
