noise from rear suspension
Hello, when driving over bumps or un-smooth surfaces, I can hear a strange noise like a as if something is in the boot, but coming from the rear suspension, passenger side. It is not a clucking or knocking sound but more sounds like the noise of the suspension hitting the stop bumbs. Any ideas anyone? Thanks as always!

your rear strut is bad.
I had that noise on the passenger rear.. going over bumps. Like a thump sound in the trunk.
Test on the road.. let the passenger rear hit a bump and let the driver rear a bump.. you will tell which one has the problem.
with warranty I got all 4 struts and shocks replaced, they were leaking. I doubt they were that bad, but the dealer don't care.. they want to juice the warranty.
