Default Rattles in the back

I added LCA's and tokico adjustable shocks to get rid of my wheel hop. The problem is that my car sound as if something is loose in the back with every single bump in the road. Is this normal? I've tightened everything. The tokico shocks said not to overtighten up top though.. I did notice that my factory shock rubber bushings were compressed when they came off. I didn't tighten my tokico's until they smushed. Is this the answer? Any help will do

I would tighten the shocks until the rubber bushing is at least partially compressed odds are this is your problem.....

Yea, just finished f..kin up both shocks by overtightening. Still same problem. I'm damn tired of this car. I'm just going to throw in a G5X4 and make it a weekend warrior.
