Eibach pro's,UPR upper and lowers.Mach 1 shocks and struts.
Car looks great and rides great.But i have a slight rattle when I go over bumps.I have double checked everything all 5 times I had the rear in the air.Thought is was my exhaust.Went over that a couple times and it is not close enough to hit any place.It sounds like its on thr driver side rear.The kicker is that is doesn't do it on every bump.
Does it sound like I did some thing wrong on the install?Anyone else have this problem and solve it?Its not a big deal I guess but I don't really like rattles.
All the spring iso's are installed.Both rear springs are indexed and installed the factory position.:shrug: help?

Rattles can be one of the more annoying problems. A lot of times its the exhaust hitting the axle tube due to the body being lower. A few options would be to have someone ride in back with the seats down to pinpoint the location. If youre confident its not a loose component you could drive around abit more then look for signs of impact or rubbing. especially handy for exhaust pipes. Sometimes when you think you have clearance a good enough bump will prove you wrong. Especially when lowered. Just out of curiosity are your quad shocks blown out.My driver side one on my 88 blew out and a little collar on it used to rattle quite noticeably over bumps. EDIT - Didnt notice you had a vert.
 
It will be going to the exhaust shop this week just to make sure and get the tail pipes welded up.I ditched the the quads after I bought my wheels.I flipped them and they still rubbed on the inside of my tire. so its not that.
