    Hey Prius Peeps I’m hearing a weird jingling noise coming from my driver’s rear suspension area. The suspension does not feel worn so I’m guessing it’s something else.

    Anybody got any idea what that might be?

    Crawl under the rear of the car take alot of pictures of suspension.See many broken rear spring from corrosion on this site. Let’s see if it’s got a corrosion issue under there.

    Jack up the rear of the car with e brake off spin the rear tires see if it’s coming from the brakes. Also take advantage of that and while spinning the rear tire
    Look at it from the back make sure there not bent. No tire run out.
    Not saying bent wheel is making the noise but I personally have had so many bent wheels on my car so I always look.

    how many miles on the car?

    The answer I provided is about as good as any other you're going to get. Read your post. Its like calling a doctor on the phone and saying "I don't feel well" , can you tell me what's wrong?
