Rattle in trunk

[nunyadamnbiz]

Ok i can hear the struts rattling in the back when i hit bumps big or small, i've had them checked out and they were just replaced last yr. and about 25K ago, they say that they are fine and everything is normal, just deal with it and turn up the radio, any suggestions, and how hard is it to put on tower bars on the front and rear, does it help with the pitch and roll alot any help would be grateful and i'm glad i found a NICE Toy forum

Jack up the rear end of the car. Support it safely on jack stands. Now crawl under the car and grab hold of the swaybar. Try to move it from side to side. If you can move it side to side with only slight pressure, the swaybar bushings are shot and need to be replaced.

Get the sway bar bushes replaced, it seems nearly every GEN3 owner will have this problem at some stage.

Should cost you under $100.
