Passenger side rear suspension noise
95 SL500
Hey guys, I really need some help on this one. Today I had a set of H&R springs installed. When the car was returned to me, I noticed the roll bar was in the up position and it wouldn't go down. I'm thinking "no big deal"... When I drove over a speed bump, I heard clunking noise on the right side that sounds like something's in the trunk. However, when I push down on the rear fender, the noise isn't there, only squeaking. I only hear it when driving over bumps.
Finally got the roll bar down and decided to checkout the noise again. This time I made a U turn and the roll bar sprung up rather quickly. When I turn off the ignition and back on again, the roll bar works
What could possibly be making this noise and how does the roll bar play a roll in this? I'm taking it back to the shop tomorrow, just wanted some insight on what's going on. Thanks!!!!!

Might be from being lifted setting of the sensor for the roll bar. There ia reset procedure in your owners manual.
The clunking noise could be the self leveling suspension, or these
