I bought a 240 S14 from a friend a few weeks, completely stock original owner. There's a noise coming from the rear suspension whenever I enter a driveway. Is this a common thing with this car. Could it be the sub-frame bushing?
And if so Can i install a spacer to fix this?
Thanks

It could be a lot of things.... check your links and pretty much everything else and make sure they are all bolted on and tight....

sub frame spacers are a good idea reguardless

Enter the driveway at an angle? Try hitting up your bushings with some silicone grease or WD-40. It may just be bushings that are getting tired and creaking on you.

So grease up the bushings? I'll give it a shot. I might order that energy bushing insert for the rear subframe

If it sounds like oil is sloshing around the shocks are blown..
