Well just recently I got my rear shocks changed (they were leaking). We got the Monroe Sensatrac shocks put in. Now for 4 days straight, the car was perfectly fine no noise nothing and all of the sudden on Sunday (last week) the car started making a rattling noise of some sort from the back when driving on any rough, uneven surface/road. Potholes do the same thing. Any big bump such as my driveway, no rattling sound at all. It mostly sounds like its coming from the rear right (passenger) side but I could be wrong.
We took the car back to our mechanic that installed the shocks and he checked everything out and couldn't find anything except for an O ring near the front of the car that is supposed to be attached to a flex point of the exhaust had become loose and he welded it back to where it should be.
Now after picking up the car from him again, it was fine for about 5-10minutes and boom the sound was there again, so as of right now its still making the sound (like a clank clank of two metal pieces rattling) and I really really would love to figure out what it could be. I have taken the spare & jack out as I thought it might be a possibility but so far that didn't change a thing.
Sorry for the long read, just hope somebody can help me out, Thanks!
