Annoying Suspension sound....what is it?? 850 1993


I have a '93 850 GLT with 105,000 miles. I recently replaced the shocks all around with some KYBs. I was in need of new shocks, but over the last 2-3 months I've had an annoying issue with the suspension.

I can't describe the sound that well (some say it sounds like worn metal), but you'll hear the sound when going over certain bumps, even at low speeds. In fact, it's more a low speed issue than anything, and tends to go away at higher speeds. It's an issue when you drive over unsmooth roads and potholes, like what we have here in New York City.

All I can say is that it's pretty annoying to have to hear this!

I have heard some ideas on what it might be, but I'd like to hear some opinions from you guys.

Thanks.
