i hear a clanking noise sound like metal and sometimes like its hitting rubber. i sometimes hear it in the rear.every time i hit a bump i heared the noise, so i thought it was the rear shocks. i replaced both rear shocks, and dont hear it as offten but i do still hear it somtimes on bumps.any ideas what it could be?

can you recreate the noise by bouncing the corners of the vehicle?

Its most likely going to be a bushing issue, either way sway bar bushings or something like that.

Metal clanking noise? Make sure your spare is tight up against the bottom of the vehicle. It hangs on a chain and I've had it make all sorts of noise when it decides to come loose.
