Every time i drive over any kind of pothole or dip in the road my rear suspension rattles like crazy. More on the passenger side then the driver side. it sounds like my wheels are loose but i had them re-torqued. Does anyone else have this problem? Its so annoying. i thought it mite be the wheel spacers that were added when i got my rims installed but it still does it with the stock wheels on. i know when i take it to the stealership there going to tell me its suppose to sound like. I really want to drop the car but i don't want to make the problem worse.

? put your car on a lift and hit your tire with a rubber mallet. The rattle should repeat till you can track it down
