So after spending $720 to cosco last week for my new 4 michellin defender tires:headbang (all season) I just start giving notice this big rear rattling noise around the compartment area. The slightest bump would trigger this lol even on smooth surface you can still hear it, I watched some youtube for some rear problems and found a guy who have this exactly same sound that I have.

Im not a mechanic but im pretty sure I have the same rattling/clanking sound on the rear compartment area( I thought its due to all the garbage stuff on my compartment lol) as this guy what do you think guys? If its a sway bar links any suggestions where I can buy those and should I replace the swar bar too and bushings? thanks.

It could be just the bushings. You would have to get underneath and start looking around though. Cheapest fix if it is. I've had clunks before from the back and those were the cause.

Make sure it's the sway bar that's causing the noise and not the rear shocks, etc.

May be a broken shock mount
