Trust me when I say this, it is the shock. OEM shocks will do nothing but make noise. I strongly suggest going aftermarket, I went to the dealer 3 times for the exact same problem
I wonder if this is the source of the noise on certain bumpy roads I've been hearing in the rear of my RS. Tomorrow I'm installing the RS performance suspension so we'll see.
Put the RS performance suspension in today, no more noise from the rear. This suspension plus the ddm rear brace makes for the perfect DD suspension setup.
Just installed the DDM brace and I don't know if my shocks are frozen or the bar isn't snug and is rattling but holy noise. Sounds like a clunking strut and its only the right rear.
Gonna tighten up the bolts on the brace, probably just thwack them with an impact.
