i just installed a set of adj. coilovers with new strut bushings and there seems to be a rattling noise coming from my rear suspension and trunk when i hit a bump. is there anything to blame for this? and can i fix this? or is it just something i have to deal with?

Did you bolt everything back up? I had a noise in my front end then i realized the sway bar wasn't bolted on 1 side

I have a similar problem, I believe its due to either the progressive coils of my springs hitting against each other, or possibly that I didn't cut my bumpstops and my shocks are bottoming out prematurely... I haven't been able to figure it out, but it seems to be a common problem from what I've read. Tightening up my shocks did help some, so try that and see.

it's usually from the sway bars.. either it's not bolted on well, or it could be that the end link bushing is worn out..

No rattle here...just a clunk sound in the rear passenger wheel when i go through a speedbump. This is with my eibach springs. Supposedly, its just dead coil area hitting each other.

i noticed someone mention bumpstops, where is that located? cuz when i lowered my car, i did have my shocks bottoming out, so i had to raise it back up a bit to give the shocks more room to move! maybe this is my problem?!

they're located on the strut rod

the #s represent where the bumpstop would be on a strut, its basically a rubber/polyer (i think) type cushion.
