wj rear rattle
Ok guys I know some of you may know about this already. I have followed all instructions to get rid of the rattle in the rear of my WJ, I have had the car since new. I have to date... 1. new shocks 2. tried the washer around the top and bottom shock mounts. 3. replaced the rear upper ball joint 4. replaced the bushings on the control arms 5. replaced as well as disconnected the sway bar end links 6. new bushings on sway bar 7. Replaced A Arm bushings. When I take the shocks off the noise seems to diminish by about 80%, and they have been replaced under warranty. I have also checked rear door, and everything else internally. I love this car and have spent about $3K on it in the last year, but this noise is driving me nuts. I did notice when I jacked it up the other day that there was a slight noise when I put some muscle into the rear left wheel in the up and down direction, and took it to the mechanic who seemed to think that this may not be the problem. Has anyone identified a solution, or any ideas would be appreciated.
