This is on a 98 EX. I installed my Tein S-Tech and KYB AGX combo about 4 days ago and yesterday I noticed a rattle, almost like a clunking, but not really, coming from my right rear shock. Its only when I hit rough bumps. Could this be caused by the Cap bolt not being on tight enough? It looks like it might have loosened itself a thread and a half or so. I can get that thing any tighter, or even loosen it for that matter. I'm pretty sure the lower bolt that holds the shock on or the lower control arm bolt are nice and tight. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks..

yes that could be one reason.
Another could be that if you have TEIN pillowball mounts, you might wanna check to see if something is loose inside the balljoint area of the pillowball mount.

Double check to see that all rear suspension bolts are tightened down..maybe you missed a bolt..

 

I don't have tein pillow ball mounts. And im pretty sure all the bolts that I removed are tightened. I thinks its the cap bolt. Any Ideas on how to tighten the damn thing more? By the way, thanks for the reply.
