I don't have it in the budget right now to have car problems...can i do just one this one side? or MUST i do both rear's?

Support the car well and safely, Take off the tire, remove the shock bolts, and the axle will drop low enough so that you can easily pull the spring out. In fact one "problem" with replacing shocks is that the spring some times inadvertently falls out. Once you take the tire off, it should be obvious if the spring is broken. The shock could make noise if one end has become detached, also obvious once the tire is off. BUT, most likely the trailing arm bushing, and THAT is tough job. -- 84 242Ti IPD bars&springs, 89 745 16v M46 IPD bars, 89 744 16v M46 IPD bars, 90 745 AW70, 91 245SE AW70 IPD bars, 93 245 CLassic M47 Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

Even if the spring is worn and sagging it wouldn't cause the banging you describe. A broken spring might do that but should be easy to see. Sounds more like a blown out trailing arm bushing--the big one under the rear axle. Look again with a lamp--look at the cross bolt relative to the diameter of the bushing--it should be dead center. Have someone gently push on the rear bumper while you look to see if the movement of the crossbolt seems to be independant of the bushing.

Sagging could be caused by weak or broken suspension spring. Shock absorbers don't support the weight of the car. Could also have worn suspension bushings, the rear trailing arm bushing commonly wears out. -- 1986 Volvo 245 Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
