Default Another annoying sound from rear post....

Just got a 99 ss convert about 3 weeks ago.... everything worked great.... but since about a week ago i hear a Weird noise that comes from the rear tires somewhere.... only over bumps.... but heres the thing about it... if i drive it for a little while and go over another bump... it either doesnt make a noise... or barely does.... Is there something that maybe needs lubed or something
Thanks

Does it have any mods on it, like lcs's or phr? They "can" make some noise.

Either way, you should just get under there and see if the lca's or phr bolts are loose, see if anything under there is aftermarket which might have grease fittings. If so lube them up, and check to see if your rear shocks are blown or if the rear spring isolators are torn up or missing.

Peace,
Craig.

If he has a lift, have him put it on there and just check all the bolts for the suspensions, etc like transmission mount, torque arm mount, driveshaft bolts, and of course the exhaust....something's probably loose or ungreased...
