Rear suspension rattle, help me locate it
Im getting alot of rattle noises from my rear suspension on bumps.
I have new struts, a UMI adjustable panhard bar.
And the sway bar bushings look like the previous owner changed them cause they look newer and are blue.
Everything seems in good shape from the looks of things
can someone point me in the right direction on what el be se might need to be changed ??

I have the same rattle and i narrowed it down to where my exhaust is hooked up right above the axle.my brother and i can shake it when its supposed to be somewhat stiff.thats my guess.

Problem
That is kinda what I was thinking....It could be a mixture of two things it could be loose hardware or it might just be the exhaust! Just double check those things I am sure you will find it!
Thanks

When I put on my bmr stuff I did not realize they had torque specs. Make sure you have your bolts torqued down enough. even after torqing them down two came loose so I double nutted them. also my bolts were a 1/8th of an inch difference than the holes in the control arms so I made the holes in the mounts bigger and put the right size hardware in there. those two things solved my problems but rattles could be anything.

Same problem here, I cant quite figure it out. I recently added a cut out to the exhaust, so when they had it on the lift I went down under to see if I could find anything that was loose. I checked the exhaust and then anything around the rear end but, NO LUCK. The guy at the shop told me that it could also be the bushing on top of the shocks. Thats the next thing i'll check.
