Rattling noise over bumps
 

I have a clunky rattling sound coming from the Right-Rear quadrant of the car when driving over imperfections in the road.

It's coming from the outside of the car, behind the cabin and to the right of the center of the vehicle.

Here's what I have checked:
exhaust... does not hit anything when shook
wheel... lugs are tight
shock... bolts are tight
gas tank... seems nice and snug but perhaps when i'm checking it the weight of the gas is holding it down and when driving over bumps it moves a little bit?



Any ideas?

anyone?

Shock knock?

end links??????

Not quite sure what shock knock is... lol


As for the endlinks, I don't have a rear sway bar

Guessing he means when the shock or something attatched to it is loose or a bushing is broken and isn't doing its job... I've never heard that term though

Hmm...

Well, the shock appears to be fine. I can't replicate the noise by pushing down hard on the back of the car to compress the shock. The LCA bushings are fine. The shock is bolted on tight.

My trailing arm bushing doesn't look so great though... any way to determine if that's the problem?

I think I may have figured this out. The spare tire seemed a little loose so I tightened it.

well hit some bumbs and let us know

Yep, I'll try to remember to come back here in a few days to confirm it. I want to make sure the sound stays gone long enough before I say that was it.
