Angry C32 Slushing slooshing sounds!! Help!!

I used to have H&R Coilovers but I went back to my stock suspension (except for my brabus sways). Whenever I go over dips or speedbumps, I hear a sound coming from behind me which I can only descibe as a slushing or slooshing sound. I suspect it is coming from my rear suspension.

This sound really really bugs the hell out of me. The paint scuff i got on my rear bumper (from a hit on run) does not bother me nearly as much as this noise!!

The dealership is saying that it might be coming from the sway bar but they will test it some more and let me know tomorrow.

Please guys, tell me...what could causing this noise!?!? Could this possibly be caused by my sway bars??? I find it highly unlikely but is it probable?!

Slushing and slooshing might not be the right words to describe the sound...my first thought was that it was the petrol in the tank moving around. Do you mean it is more of a squeaking noise like rubber rubbing against rubber? Or may be loose bushings?

check the end links in the rear....and the front.

they can get loose and make very strange sounds....or if the spherical bearing in the link is blown it can make noise as well.

I (and a few others) went through this with the E36 M3.

Jet - no its not a squeaking sound, it defintely sounds more like a slushing sound. Where are these bushings your refering to? are you referring to my sway bar?

5150_C32 - where are these endlinks you're talking about. are you referring to my sway bars?

JeT and I are both referencing your sway bars.

aftermarket bushings can definitely make noise, but it is more of a squeaking like JeT stated.
