Last night i took the trueno out for a cruise. [please note that its passenger side front shock is broken and idk about the other ones] but when i usually step on the gas on 3rd there's a sound from the back like its rattling or hitting something. a friend of mine said it might be the back axles. i think the back shocks/struts are broken. need help asap so i can fix it please. :cry:

jack it up and climb under with a prybar and stat checking bushing for excessive play and damage.if the shocks are blown and the springs weak check for rubbing issues in the wheel wells. but the weird thing its only in third gear.all these things would make noise regardless of what gear your in.

might be the shocks and the springs cause its all stock. i doubt it's been raced because i'm the second owner. the first guy is my coworker and he's in his late 50s

then just look over all your bushings and shock mounts in the rear.
