951 rear end suspension noise

[sctreat52]

I replaced all 4 shocks, koni front (thanks Paragon) boge rear.
Now I'm getting a rattle from the rear passenger side even when the road surface is only mildly bumpy. Very annoying after all the upgrades.
Is it bushings and which ones. Would heavy grease help and how do I get it in there?

are you sure it's not coming from a loose heat shield or other loose part?

I don't think so because it has more of a knocking or rumble to it.
It seems to be in time with the suspension reacting to the road.
Wouldn't a heat shield sound higher or thinner?
Also seems to go away when I'm driving in rain.
That's why I was thinking grease or bushings.

You haven't posted what you found or didn't find making the noise. Have you checked the CV Joints or the torsion bar bushings?

Cheers,

let me know what you find.. I have the same issue... Its more like a fluttering knock, right? I thought shock, but did not change them yet, and see know of leaking.

I checked all suspension parts and nothing seems loose.

Could it have anything to do with the gas tank? I mention it because it sounds like its coming from that general area. I just changed my rear wheel bearing and inspected the axle when removed... no issues there.

Sorry I never got back about this. Winter came along so into storage.
I think it's the control arm bushing on the passenger side.
It goes away when it's in the rain. I bet this is a royal pain to r & r. Any suggestions out there on the best way to proceed?
