See the 2 studs that go through and you put the bolts on.

Is there supposed to be some sort of bushing or something there cause the boise is most def. those studs moving when I hit any bumps.... fuckin annoying.

my strut bar is also installed correctly because it sit's into place (perfectly) without pushing on th estruts...ya know..

so does anyone have a bushing or something between the 2 metal pieces.

nope...no bushing there for me....i think i have the same issue though...its like a rattling type of sound?? I would say jus get some gasket material and make a couple. Wouldn't exactly be too difficult to do IMO :shrug

yea the sound ...ummm sounds like it's the threads bouncing around in the hole...kinda scraping...

there is no bushing there. what did you use to lower your car? alot of times, coilovers will make quite a bit of noise when driving. it dosen't look like your bolts are tight enough either but thats probably just cause of the bracket for the brace taking up some of the threads.

Check your rear knuckle bushing.

those bolts tightened will not make noise, if they are making noise you arent tightening them.

the bolts are tight and yes...the bar plate takes up some of the threads.

they only look like that because of the extra space used up by the plate for the strut brace

The part in the top left corner.

There is a bolt that runs through the top of it where the bushing is, if the bushing is bad it makes contact with the knuckle itself.

I can almost promise its the piece that connects to the hatch when it opens and closes.....The thing that doesn't let people see into ur trunk.....there r small metal bars on the bottom of it and its hittin the strut bar when u hit bumps.... put up a pic of the rest of the strut bar and if its like mine thats ur problem bro......

Yah, I did the ol "Ball-Peen" mod on those deck lid metal braces! Ya lay the whole lid on the ground and gently pound them brace parts to dent them in where they hit the strut bar. Then put the fuzzy side of some velcro on the dent areas & volla... no mo deck lid rattles :thumbsup

You either have to have the whole knuckle assembly replaced or there is an Energy Suspension kit you can kit. I was lucky and got my knuckle replaced after my accident.
